Hey /lit/

What do you listen to when you write?

>> No.2427991

The Ghost Inside's album Returners. It makes me feel good.

>> No.2427990

Sometimes Atrium Carceri. Sets the mood (for writing horror, anyway).

I've been listening to a lot of Andrew Bird and The Tallest Man on Earth lately....

>> No.2427997

sometimes I find that lyrics distract me, so I'll only listen to soundtracks.

Some favorites:
>Shadow of the Colossus
>Flower
>Lord of the Rings
>Memoirs of a Geisha

Well, not Bebop, but usually I just queue up a random Smooth Jazz net radio station. Anything with lyrics breaks up my concentration too much.

I really listen to nothing at all when I have work that has to be done. I'm very easly distracted. So I just have what the ambiant noise that is my room to keep me company. Once in a great while I will have something really light playing in the background to the point where you have to be an active listener to hear anything.

Nothing. I like quiet.
But posting last.fm anyway, because I'm a hipster and that's what hipsters do.

>> No.2428287

Frequently visit a house with two Creative Writing graduates who are active writers. One listens to jazz, the other listens to metal. But that also has to do with their respective writing styles. The jazz one writes unintelligible hipster shit, I'm sorry to say. The metal one is into postapocalyptic dystopias.

Check this guy here.
He thinks he's music savvy because he listens to Classical/

YOU'RE A POMPOUS PRICK WHO THINKS HE IS BETTER THAN EVERYONE BECAUSE HE LISTENS TO OLD MUSIC.

>mfw this faggot doesn't realise contemporary music is vastly superior but he wouldn't know because all he knows it top 40 that gets played at his minimum wage job.

>> No.2428365

>>2428354
The majority of stuff I listen to is contemporary and it's well beyond top 40.
Also classical is intellectually superior.

Schoenberg took his particular serialism as far as it could go 60 years ago. Just compare the amount of romantic work he churned out vs the amount of serialist.

Depends on what I'm writing.
Lately, Alternative rock, punk, grunge because my current work focuses on mid 30's something slackers, nostalgia and urban decay.

I've also been developing this self aware, modern pop culture relevant screenplay, so videogame music.
