The music is the key...

So, for all you writers out there plugging away this month, what type of music do you listen to while writing your novel?

Are you the type that the music is specific to the genre you are writing in, or, do you just put your iPod / whathaveyou on random?


Give a shout out to what you are listening to!


So far, the music has been leaning towards (for me)...

"The 5th Element" soundtrack
"Blade Runner" soundtrack
"2001" soundtrack
And a mix of "VNV Nation", "Velvet Acid Christ", "Depeche Mode", and "NIN"


NaNo user = "Matrixleap" in Portland, Oregon.

I listen to all my Stargate soundtracks - Continuum, The Ark of Truth and Atlantis. No words that I will be tempted to sing. That's the ticket for me. LOL

Ah, I was hoping someone had started a thread like this.

Yesterday, I listened to Chopin. The lack of words was helpful, and it was soothing.

Today, I listened to the Underworld soundtrack. I wanted something dark as I wrote my crime scene... scene.

I'm thinking of listening to Pink Floyd tomorrow. It's dreamy and crazy, and will hopefully inspire my imagination.

iTunes on Recently Played random, because I find that if it's not on what I've recently listened to I pay too much attention and waste too much time on finding a song I like than writing. And the songs on my phone, which are 44 in total. They're just ones I find myself addicted to as of right now.

I find when I write I tune out the music and become really into my story, so I really don't mind what I listen to, as long as I like it and sometimes can draw something from it.
