The Chosen
Electrofolk
A 10-Track Journey Through Faith, Captivity, and the Fight for Freedom
The story of my dark fantasy novel, The Chosen, told through music. Each song follows Mira Roehart as a religious leader takes control of her coastal hometown, turning promises of salvation into a life she must escape.
This Electrofolk edition preserves the original soundtrack’s lyrics and melodies, adding electronic beats, bass, and textures to its Nordic instrumentation. War drums, pan flutes, and Hardanger fiddles retain the atmosphere of ancient forests and sacred rituals, with an electronic pulse carrying the story forward.
A companion to the novel and a musical telling of its story, exploring religious control, survival, and the choice to reclaim your life.
Content note: Religious abuse, forced marriage, sexual violence, and suicidal despair.
