Soundtrack
May. 22nd, 2018 11:36 pmMusic plays a big part in my writing, and indeed my life in general; silence has a way of messing with my head, so I have some sort of music on at all times, even when I'm in bed.
Generally speaking I'll either stream one of a few radio stations I like or just have my massive, sprawling library of MP3s that I've been collecting for over a decade playing in a shuffle in the background, but of late I've been making a bit of an effort to pick out something appropriate to what I'm working on.
For the project I started this blog to promote, that's involved a somewhat eclectic but enjoyable mix of folk and prog rock, vaguely hippyish Seventies pop songs and even quite a lot of ambient nature noise. You could probably infer a lot about the story from the playlist.
In fact, here's a not even close to comprehensive list of the stuff I listen to while writing. Listen to some of it on YouTube and tell me what sort of themes you think the story will contain!
Artists: Ballycotton, Blackmore's Night, Varttina, Beltaine, Jefferson Starship (particularly "Blows Against The Empire"), Yes, Electric Light Orchestra
Stations: Radio Rivendell, Radio North Sea International, BBC Radio 3, assorted ambient nature noise longplays on YouTube
