Music and Work
polycounter lvl 11
Wondering what types of music everyone listens to while creating their amazing pieces of art. I really want to expand my music I listen to while creating my 3D stuff, and if you can give a particular band name or singer name that would be awesome.

It tends to matter on what I'm working on as well. If it's real tedious crap, I'll listen to something faster. Then once I get to some cool shit, I'll slow it down some.
http://www.breaksblog.biz/ - for dj mixes, some better than others obviously.
Although im pretty prone to zoning out while i draw, plenty of times i've paused my music to talk to someone only to resume painting for 20mins without realising i didn't start up my music
Still, i can't live without it... if im not watching a film/anime i will have music on \m/
I used to always find it really hard in a studio because little noises would seep in to my brain
and annoy me, like people typing too loud or people trying to stipple texture with a graphic tsblet:)
must have some kind of noise sensitivity thing going on
I love music in general though
Miles, when there is a thread about deja vu that you think you have seen before I would start worrying:)
