Can anyone write to this?

[lovecraft68]

I know a lot of authors listen to music while they write and I am sure the material varies from person to person.

I like death metal/dark metal whatever people want to classify it as. The link below is a song playing when my wife wandered into my office. She insists no one else could possibly write to something this obnoxious and told me to see what the response was here.

So help me out, I only need a couple of metal heads to say they could

Um, Saxon Hart, you around?

Sounds a bit gloomy to me.
Or a person being sick.
But whatever floats a boat, eh ?

Yeah the lyrics are over the top, that band is very horror/death themed. Half the time I don't try to understand them, but its the beat that drives it, even if I'm writing slow and sexy that's what is blasting.

I really think it just drowns out everything else in my head.

I find chaos oddly soothing, probably a product of a dysfunctional childhood, but my wife isn't the first one who can't figure out how I could focus through that much noise.

Noirtrash occasionally posts youtube clips of some of the most sublime organ music, but anyone would be hard pushed to find a connection between that and his fiction.

I wonder if it's a matter of having multiple things for the brain to pay attention to? I find jazz with lots of things going on in it soothing for that reason. I might have a little ADD.

If I already was in to writing a sex scene when this music started, I could continue writing to it (although the scene might turn out more fierce than I had planned).

Nice, I could write to Cradle of Filth, but it wouldn't be my first choice. My current ear-worm:

That opening riff that repeats at 2:40... heavenly.

Been getting into these guys lately, somehow hadn't heard much of them before.

Yeah, it can inspire some rough stuff, its also conducive to fight scenes.

 

[J_R_Ashunwhy]

If something more civil is needed, than perhaps 'Night on Bald Mountain,' 'Danse Macabre,' or 'Hall of the Mountain King' would be more suitable?

 

[someoneyouknow]

Maybe. It would depend on my mood. The rhythm isn't fast enough or stable enough for me.

I'm more DragonForce/Mutant Monster/Green Day/Judas Priest with some other ones thrown in depending, including Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach.

 

[lovecraft68]

I think many here would agree once we're in a zone it probably doesn't matter as much, but anything slow and soothing screws with me and I can't seem to think.

At work if its slow, I have a hard time concentrating, making myself get things done and will screw up here and there when for most people that's when work is the easiest.

On the other hand when we have the September to early November Black Friday rush that everyone dreads because its been dubbed sixty days of hell, I'm calm, getting shit done, unfazed while everyone is like what the fuck.

Guess I'm just wired for speed in general.

My sister says I'm best described by the Ike and Tina version of rolling on the river "Ike and Tina Never do anything nice and easy"

Oh hey, Viking Metal!

Warning: female vocalist ahead:

My current favorite rock female and also current forbidden fruit. Oh, Taylor what I could do to you and what I'd let you do to me.

Classic 80's speed metal/horror rock alert.

King Diamond, Abigail. Seen him do this live in Boston recently, amazing.

I right to this all the time

And a little homage

https://www.literotica.com/s/abigail-5

Character is nothing like the story of the album and I spell the last name a but differently, but its my tribute to an all time fav

 

[NotWise]

Write to what you want to write to. What does your wife have to do with it? I would get the same reaction from my wife if she walked in while I listened to La Traviata.

So I like modernized romance and you like smash-down, bleeding-from-the-mouth whatever that was. What difference does that make?

 

[legerdemer]

I write best to no music at all - my brain is too easily distracted by any lyrics whatsoever; even electronic or classical can be distracting. The words all start weaving together in the same sentence and I just have to stop one or the other. In the past I've gone as far as using white noise apps, but even those drive me nuts sometimes. On the other hand my partner used to do heavy technical reading to NIN, Marilyn Manson and the like.

THIS kind of Jazz ?
(Try track 2.)
I love the old masters.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

I prefer jazz when I'm writing. I don't need words bouncing around in my head and interfering with my thought process.

 

[trigudis]

Music

Very seldom write to music. When I do, it's always classical.

Yeah...not really, that was just a bunch of incomprehensible noise to me. Sorry.

Right now I have the soundtrack to Pitch Perfect playing while I write. I have an eclectic mix of songs in my primary playlist. From Paul Revere and the Raiders to Flo Rida to Guns & Roses.

Now see if I'm working around the house, I listen to different music entirely. I love doo wop, motown even a little (gasp) disco, but when it comes to writing or working out its pure hard and heavy.

Rap would make me want to jam pencils in my ears

 

[Bramblethorn]

Music can be great for getting me in the right mood, but anything with vocals tends to be distracting when I'm writing.

My too, usually, but I have found one that doesn't make me do that...Right Round, by Flo Rida. Not his version, but the soundtrack does have the complete song there.

Any other rap song makes me scream.
