What kind of music would your character have grown up listening to? –

Caspar doesn’t have much in the way of childhood music memories because his memories were fake. Pre-Cylon, he enjoyed listening to folk and jazz.

What kind of music do they let people know they listen to? –

He will admit to being a fan of ambient electronica.

What is their secret genre or song? Something they wouldn't necessarily want others knowing they like. –

So, he gave the Social Network soundtrack a listen, and then started listening to Nine Inch Nails, and now it’s his go-to for when he’s feeling angsty and miserable. And if you think he’s ever going to admit he likes this one in particular…

And what genre can they just not stand? If possible, find an example. –

Whatever genre Enya is.

Do they associate any specific songs or genres with themselves? –

Daft Punk. Well-dressed robots laying down phat beats? He wishes he could be that cool.

Do they associate any specific songs or genres with other people? –

If he had to pick an electronic genre for Adia, it’d be chiptune. Also, this

Songs for the good times? –

I Feel it Comin’ — The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk
Can’t Take My Eyes off of You — Frankie Valli


Songs for the BAD times? –

Daisy — Brand New (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)

'Someone to Pull the Trigger' - Well yikes, Caspar!

I do love him being a secret Nine Inch Nails fan though XD

Someone needs to slide the Stranger Things soundtrack his way next.

The song is supposedly in reference to Matthew Sweet's divorce, but leave it to Caspar to take things literally. :P The lyrics of the song are eerily accurate at describing how he's put his life into Adia's hands.

It's the perfect combination of angry and emo, but it definitely grinds his gears that some whiny human is managing to capture how he's feeling. XD (And I type all that as a huge NIN fan. I love Reznor, but there is a lot of whining in all that rage!) I haven't seen Stranger Things but I'll check out the soundtrack. :)

Take Caspar to a rave, got it.

Haha. A dance hall full of sweaty humans flailing to the music, I bet he'd love that. XD He'd be the guy at the bar critiquing the DJ's sampling skills.

I've got to say, Rey would almost be impressed at Caspar being a snob about such a clattering, screeching racket, but he'll never see it because a rave to Reynard would be like holy ground to a vampire.
