I can really recommend listening to Jonn Serrie, if you like music they usually play in planetariums. Superb stuff, especially the "Planetary Chronicles"-series.

When I have to create some work I listen to Mike Oldfield, Vangelis and Air, when I play with Bryce, everything is good...

I generally like to listen to audio books. I find that I don't have a lot of time to read like I used to, more's the pity.... and I need to bryce as well, so I compromise. Unless I'm in a music mood... and even my music moods are moody.... depending on my attitude, I listen to anything from ska to soft rock to metal to instrumental. My current favorites are Blindside, Project 86, and various bands of Christian Death Metal.

Rochr, John Serrie, that's very you. :-) Goes very well with your pictures. Personally I listen to Kenny G. I guess that explains my artwork. ;-p

OK, seriously, my music taste change hour to hour. Right now it's Franz Ferdinand, earlier, it was the new album by Zero 7, next it will probably be Muse.

oh no,not Kenny G!!!! For god sakes someone save this man. Melansian: You ever heard of a christian band called crucified? some of the best christian metal ive ever heard.

Tangerine Dream (esp. Melrose and the soundtrack to Sorcerer) Vangelis (Heaven and Hell, The City, Spiral and Direct) Patrick O'Hearn Enya The Art of Noise Pat Metheny Acoustic Alchemy Beethoven, Bach, Mozart Clannad Fourplay John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry As Yul put it; "Et Cetera Et Cetera Et Cetera"

Heh heh, Tenacious D, right Drac. Ive got everything from Puccini to Staind on my winamp but the 2 I play most lately are "Hurt" by Johnny Cash and Toby Keiths "I love this bar". Rodney Carrington figures large, too.

When I'm working on large projects (even though I've never finished one yet) I listening to Star Wars and LOTR music because I like that type of orchestral music. Otherwise, I listening to various artists, Incubus, 50 cent, and Rage Against the Machine are a couple of my favorites, but I listen to Linkin Park the most, basically every day, because I just really like their style.

Back when I had the drums set up, it was whatever long, prog rock live song would get me through the render..;) Genesis3 Sides Live- the Cage, Rush-Stages, Exit Stage left, EL&P (I'm amazed at how much mileage Carl Palmer got out of a snare..;), Kansas-the Live albumn, then just general wierd stuff from the early 90's (bands that start with 'C'..Cure, Cult, Curve, Church, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, (ok, I'm starting the cheat here..;), usually the only thing going lately is my daughter talking on the phone..;)

Just put on Carl Orff's Carmina Burana and press repeat.

Lol. I LOVE listening to that! (Carmina), but it only really works with the right kinda image, IMO. I love "The Piano Man", "American Pie", stuff by Queen, Phantom of the Opera. John williams is good too, though I don't normally listen to it. Great stuff!

I usually listen to; ~Mars Lasar, '11th hour, Karma, Nocturnal Diaries,....' ~Higher Intelligence Agency ~Sounds from the Ground, 'Kin and Terra Firma' ~Tangerine Dream, any ~Oystein Sevag, 'Bridge' ~Delerium, 'Karma' ~Kevin Braheny, 'Rain' CD, is my favorite ~Pacific Moon, asst'd Asian fusion ~Uttara-Kuru, 'East Wind' Asian fusion Temple ~Deep Forest ~Bruce Bevar ~Chris Spheeris ~Baroque Classical

I listen to classic blues. BB King, Elmore James, Etta James, Freddy King, Albert King, T Bone Walker, Earl Hooker, John Lee Hooker, Big Momma Thornton, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Rev. Gary Davis, etc.. Recently I have been listening to "Picture" by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock.

Damn theres lotsa bands and artists on this thread that I haver never heard of.

Excellent choices Groingrinder,how bout howlin wolf,taj mahal elmore james,lazy lester great classic blues.

Oh yeah captor213! That Lazy Lester is one of the more obscure blues harpists though. How did you come to know him?

bush, everclear, afi, greenday, llama, jem, dandy warhols, marcy playground, radiohead, oasis, metallica, incubus, linkin park, something corporate, third eye blind, matchbox 20, offspring, sublime, rem, 3 doors down, sum 41, rufus waiwright, jimmy eat world, garbage, no doubt, the cure, the smiths, groove armada, zero 7, higher intelligence agency, fila brazilia, crystal method, antibalas afrobeat orchestra, creedence clearwater, billy joel, quincy jones, bach, schumann, telemann, vivaldi, shostakovich, rachmaninov, danny elfman, vangelis....and I know I left some out, too, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. I've got something playing all the time.

If I'm just noodling for ideas, I listen to the radio(WJZW 105.9 FM in the Washington Metro area,....it's jazz). If I have an idea that's fairly solid I always listen to Mozart,.....usually start with "Adagio and Fuge in C minor", then assorted overtures,.....Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" is also good.

@ captor213 It's gotta be the Deutchegrammiphone recording (alas I have it only on LP and have since seen it elsewhere) Should mention: Loreena McKennitt, Santana, Dvorak, Mindi Abair, Weekend Players, Everything But the Girl, Robert Cray, Basia, Alan Parson's Project, Tim Rice, Boney James, Rick Braun, Fresh Aire, Quincy Jones.... Further installments to come...

@ haloedrain: Gotta agree on lots of your picks, but they aren't what I "Bryce" to... maybe just listen in the car... or on a cold night with a fire and a bottle of Scotch.

groin:I found a Lazy lester album in a old record shop..$2

Blues ancient and modern. Everything from Robert Johnson to Stevie Ray Vaughn and all points in-between. :^) Django Reinhardt and Stephen Grappelli. Beatles, Stones and pretty much all Classic Pop/Rock. Metal. Ozzy with/without Black Sabbath. Hard Rock. Soft Rock. Art Rock. Progressive Rock.

Dio Iron Maiden Warlock Queensryche Black Sabbath and more recently the rugby and aussie rules football broadcasts on the radio.

Radiohead <<<24/7
The Pixies
The Bad PLus
Beck

I reccomend The Bad Plus to anyone, they are piano/stand up bass/drums (no vocals) that do some amazing jams, and most of all they do a kick arse cover of Iron Man by sabbath. Jazz and rock fans will appreciate their genious. :)

also the occasional Fellowship of the ring soundtrack gets my imagination flowing, and I pull out the olde' radio and listen to NPR every once and a while.

and I listen to Joy Division every once in a while....ah the 80's.

Message edited on: 05/25/2004 20:48

ah..Joy Division Barbie likes to listen to Joy Division, because she likes bands with at least one dead member
-Barbie likes to Die..some very obscure band out there..;)

Skynyrd. Seriously. I like classic rock. I like to listen to some stuff by the Propellerheads. Especially the song "Spybreak"

Quintron - Are you ready for an Organ Solo Sound Tribe Sector 9 - Any album or live recording.. Nels Cline - Silencer Crash Worship - The Gods Are

George Winston, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Randy Roos, Michael Oldfield, Laurie Anderson, Deep Forest, Jack Franklin,(movie soundtrack producer I know, he lets me listen and borrow copies of his mixes, bless his heart!) and Steely Dan. I also find a lot of Raga music to be stimulating. The sound of Sitar & Tabla make a good subliminal soundtrack to creativity.

When I really get hot rip roaring Bryced I listen to; "Row, row your boat" "She'll be coming around the mountain" "Old McDonald had a farm" "Twinkle twinkle little star" "Itsy bitsy spider" "This oldman, he played one" (knick knack paddiewack) "Old Suzanna" "Clementine" "London Bridge is falling down" "Here we go round the mulberry bush" "Home on the range" "Nap sack on my back" (I like to go a wondering) But ordinarily, depending on mood, I'd Bryce to; Enya, Beethoven "Pastorale", Beethoven 9th symphony, Orff "Carmina Burana", Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Jethro Tull, Deep Forest, Enigma, ZZ Top, Guns n' Roses, Pink Floyd, Journey, Yanni, Kitaro, Keiko Matsui, The Jazzmasters, Hiroshima, Acoustic Alchemy, Blackbox, Peter White 3rd Force, Sarah Brightman, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Liebert, John Serrie, Delibes "Viens, Malika", Puccini "Nessun dorma", Wagner "The Ride of the Valkyries", Foreplay, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Joan Baez, Patsy Cline, Tim McGraw, Eagles, Doors, Fleetwood Mac, Najee, Eric Clapton, Basha, Sade, Anita Baker, Dave Kos, Salsoul Orchestra, Joe Sample, mixed Classicals.

Enya, all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Symphony and Orchastra music gives me many visuals in my minds eye. Can be very inductive to creativity.

enigma, jesse cook, chris spheeris,pink floyd,, moody blues. mike oldfield, tasmin archer

Pakled..Genesis3 Sides Live- the Cage... one of my favs

Usually I have the tv on as background noise, but when it's music it's: Rush, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Peter Gabriel. I like all styles of music except for rap and country.

I love electronic music, such as Orbital (obviously), Aphex Twin the earlier stuff, Global communication, Richard Kirk, Air, Dreadzone, FSOL, Autechre etc etc. Basically I like music with atmosphere and imagination!

Movie soundtracks. -usually dark, or action oriented stuff. Songs, rock, industrial. -usually dark, or action oriented stuff. AS

Anything but Frank Sinatra and my neigbors off key (?)singing(?): TV Commercials, George Noorey, Jets, trains snd Boom Boxed Automobiles, Ambulances, Police pulling another one down, kids screaming, Black Throated Gray Wobblers, some crazy slightly nerotic and paronoid funny looking blackbirds that I have no idea of what they're called which make some strange yet compelling and complex abiet short songs; when I'm serious, some old Grateful Dead which drives the lunitics out of that old Pink Floyd head of mine. Did I mention Songs about Trucks and Trains and Gettin' Drunk and Prison and Momma and David Allen Coe?

Well, my player starts stuttering when I render, so nothing then, except the music on the radio. But usually ... I've been playing Need4Speed: Underground recently and its soundtrack is in a good part representative of the kind of music I listen to: Asian Dub Foundation, Rancid, Crystal Method, Lil Jon and Eastside Boyz. Then Metallica (going to their concert on June 27), Franz Ferdinand, Jet, Eminem, The Darkness, Linkin Park, Sum 41, Blink 182, Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Pink, 50 Cent, Body Count, U2, White Stripes... To the consternation of my girlfriend, I'm also fond of stuff like Norah Jones, Nelly Furtado, Bob Marley, Coldplay, David Gray, or the classic rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Who and ZZ Top and Pink Floyd. In general, I'm much more oriented towards songs than towards performers. What I cannot stand is techno, trance and similar stuff. There's a song or two, though, that I like, like Crystal Method's Keep Hope Alive or Ministry's New World Order.

Message edited on: 05/26/2004 04:53

I listen to all kinds of things. In the last week I've heard. Pink Floyd- Meddle, The Wall Smetna - The Bartered Bride , Songs of my Homeland White Stripes - Elephant I've watched DVD's of the Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Mellon, and Jethro Tull I have also played individual songs from Sting Flogging Molly Monty Python Led Zeppelin Coldplay Norah Jones 10CC Enya Edgar Winter Mike Oldfield Tom Lehrer Jefferson Airplane Yes Jeff Beck Robin Trower Melissa Ethredge Iggy Pop Billy Mummy (Fish Heads) Paul Simon ACDC Dean Martin As you can see I'm all over the map. Which may explain some of my renders;)

-I usually leave the TV on while I'm Brycing (News, Xfiles reruns, Simpsons, American Idol LOL) -The Oldies FM station. -Nirvana. -And other stuff I downloaded from the days of Napster.

it really depends on my mood and what am i doing with Bryce at the time.usually i go for the throat with Judas priest, Maiden,Old Sabbath, or some more obscure metal like 220volt (hence the name he he),Overdrive,Witchfinder General,Heavy Load,Ark,anything with Jorn lande on it, but sometimes i settle for Enya,Oldfield,or some good movie soundtracks. My favorite being Conan the Barbarian and Destroyer. I love Rammstein but i find hard to move my mouse in the direction i wanted it to go with their militant marching rythm parts.:) Lot of classical too when i'm working more complex scenes.

From judas to enya...i dunno man.

Let's not forget Ben Travara King, Candy Dulfer, Chris Isaak, Saint Saens (Organ Symphony), Suzanne Ciani, Simple Minds (Street Fighting Years), Jon Hammer, The Chieftans, and Die Tradition des Gregorianischen Chorals (Gregorian Chants), just to name a few more.
