Your creative mind's music

For some of you, you need utter silence in order to be creative.

For others, you listen to music in order to dive into your bubble. Inspirations and imagery may soon follow and it'll help you when you draw/write/create.

For those of you who belong in the latter paragraph, I'd like to know what the creative minds of Fakku listen to as they focus on their work.

Breaking the ice, these days, I found myself listening to the soundtrack of "Welcome to the NHK". I find it's mellow, blues-like track very soothing and it has a certain magic to it isolates me from the rest of the world.

Edit: Hmm...I guess it was more appropriate for the music section after all. Gotta be more thoroughly next time ;;

Anything will do, really, as long as I like it. I don't use music for inspiration but rather as a way to not get distracted by my surroundings. So yeah, I usually just put a few hours of music playing (so that I don't have to constantly pick tracks) and let the pen flow.

It depends on what I'm creating. Fitting to mood, rather than genre.

For example- if I wanted to draw knights fighting, I'd probably listen to some Disturbed rather than Rhapsody, as it'd convey the grizzly nature of the battle better.

Oh? So which genres do you tend to listen to usually?

And if I may, I'd like to add a track to your list XD

I listen to stuff ranging from this to this, to this, to this, to this.

So yea, various types of music. All of them enjoyable, so all of them work for drawing.

ps: Yep, I do know NHK's OST. There are some really excellent tracks in it. I especially like the one you linked.

Ohh, that's a pretty broad range in music. The track "In Aisles" especially sounds pretty interesting. Feels like I could think of something completely absurd. Possibly some Eldritch Abomination.
