Inspiring music

Hmm, I think the title of this topic is a little weird. It should be "Music that inspires". :P

We all love music, but do you listen to anything special when you paint/draw/being artistic/whatevva? I don't mean while designing a website, I mean when you try to get the right feeling to make something that means something to you. I mean art.

I usually listen to Sigur Rós while I paint. Calm and magical music that always fills me with inspiration. And if I want something more strange I listen to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Both bands are kinda "abstract" in one way or another.

So, what do you listen to when you create art? :)

Tom Waits usually

Sigur Rós or Boards Of Canada


oh and Jose González

Frederic Chopin or Sergei Rachmaninoff XD

Oh, nice one there Shurai! I just love Rachmaninov. Especially his 3rd piano concert. It pwns. Haaaaard!

The Jam. Especially A Town Called MAlice.

Madness are pretty cool to draw to. :D

I just put my player on shuffle and listen to whatever comes on.

So you don&#39;t feel more or less inspired by certain genres/songs? Or is it on purpose, so that when death metal comes on, you make twisted and sick stuff and when japanese bubblegum pop comes on, you make everything pink with stars and stuff? :P

Al Di Meola.
Carlos Santana.
Yes.

2pac , Bryan Adams
