I’ve been having some fun experimenting with different things to listen to while I write. I find music with lyrics to be unhelpful, so I’ve been dipping into classical, jazz, and movie soundtracks.
I’m really enjoying movie soundtracks, because occasionally the music will take a sinister tone as I write a sinister line. Sometimes it’ll hit whimsy when I’m whimsical.
Of course, most of the time it doesn’t work (like right now, the Gun Fight theme from Fievel Goes West is playing, and while it’s great, this blog post fails to capture the epic feeling of the music), but somehow, it still works.
Anyway, if you’re into Spotify (And yes, I’m aware of the artist-support reasons to not be; please buy music from the artists you love), here’s a link to a playlist with a bunch of movie stuff. Enjoy!
