[TheTourismBoard]

To all Authors/Crafters of Fiction!

What music/audio do you listen to and recommend when getting words down for your fictions?

Film sound tracks? Rock? Ambient Sounds? Audio from video games? [I listen to Dead Space audio from the games...]

I'l start:

All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u.

The Thing by Ennio Morricone

The Dead Dance by Lady Gaga

Fade to Black by Bleach

Currently, as I write? This: Ork Meditation.

I lean towards rock. It motivates me but also shares some of the tones of a couple of my scenes. I don’t listen to any one song, but I’ll put on a playlist of say, Iron Maiden. My standbys are Maiden, Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead and if it’s an emotionally heavy scene, Leonard Cohen.

Definitely like when it picks up at the 01:20 mark.

Silence. And if I can't have silence, I'll settle for white noise. Music is for when I'm brainstorming and imagining epic fight scenes in my head. When I'm actually writing, I need quiet.

 

[CountVanBadger]

Makes sense. Any white noise recommendations to help achieve a quiet state?

Yes. The kind that goes kshxxshkxkshshkxxxxshkshkxkxkshhh.

I would recommend not listening to music while writing; it can mess up your tone.

That would depend on the environment; sometimes you need something to block out the other noises, but still be able to hear in case you are called for something.

I tend to listen to just one song over and over again for hours (spot the autistic hah). At the moment my song of choice is Chains of Love from the Wuthering Heights soundtrack.

Pardon my intrusion, but may I advertise my oshi here? She sang a cover of t.A.T.u song.

Thx.

Spoiler: The smartest little oshi

Anyways. When writing, I tend to write in silence. Any kinds of noise other than the keyboard clacking is a distraction to me. Can't afford losing the fixation. But, when looking for ideas or chilling, I got plenty of playlists to go through. They're... Long, takes about 6 hours per playlist. I'm not kidding.

But hey, these are my main songs.

Welcome to The Internet - Bo Burnham

Hero - Mili

Friday - uglyburger

Drone Theme - uglyburger

Dead Man Walking - (Forgot the artist, still a banger tho)

Just the Two of Us - (Forgot too)

NEVER - Both of my Oshis, Neuro-Sama and Evil Neuro (lovely)

Colorful Array - My Oshi, Neuro-Sama

BOOM - Evil Neuro

LIFE - Neuro-Sama

Almost nothing but Xana:

For my genre, the angier and more horned up the bisexual, the better the writing.

Silence. I used to listen to songs while painting but it messed up my attention towards details. I noticed I paint better in pindrop silence. It helps me see the colors clearly. Same goes for writing.

 

[Daeron]

Here's mine

Soft Illusion
Remember Summer Days
Beneath the Mask
Never Fade Away
Flicker of Light
