Thread: What kind of music inspires your writing?

@AaronTP, thanks, I'll check them out.

hip hop (alternative), alternative rock, R&B, some experimental stuff.
all that will cause me to formulate ideas on the next poem idea/theme that may come to mind

I listen to a lot of movie and gaming soundtracks when it comes to spurning my creativity; such as the Blade Runner OST and the more recent Tron Legacy to Bioware and Square-Enix's OST's. All of those synthetic sounds just really do it for me, and when mixed with orchestra it's just magic. I also listen to a lot of industrial rock and metal such as Gary Numan's newer works.

Rock, classic rock, pop, rat pack, classical, J-Rock and J-Pop, pretty much anything that strikes my fancy.

Since my short stories are set in a monastery I listen to Chants.

... i listen to apocalyprica ... Apocalyptica - Hall of the mountain King - YouTube

Upbeat, Dance music all the way (My favorite is Natalia Kills). With my headphones cranked up so loud I'm sure that if someone was sitting beside me they could hear the lyrics clearly. Unless of course I'm trying to bring myself down for a serious scene, then I love my 80's ballads. I love music almost as much as I love to write. They go great together.
