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.

I've recently become addicted to a Finnish viking-themed folk-metal band. No, I'm not joking. Give them a chance, they fucking rock.

I just make genius playlists with iTunes. Pick a song, and it matches it up with others that compliment it. Some of my fave albums on their own are:

Korn - Issues
Korn - Life is Peachy
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe
Marilyn Manson - Eat me, Drink me
Primus - Greatest Hits
CCR - Chronicle, Vol1
Paul Oakenfold - A lively Mind
Paul Oakenfold - Bunkka
Sevendust - Best of
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

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.

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 D:

Still, i can't live without it... if im not watching a film/anime i will have music on \m/

I don't actually listen to music whilst working. I find it very distracting

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

Korpiklaani - Rise
Korpiklaani fuckin rules. Been listening to em for a while now, and was super surprised when I walked into hmv a little while ago and saw some of their cd's. Now I see em being posted here, so awesome.

I like to listen to metal, lately a lot of Arcturus (fuck they're awesome).

Hehe, my bad. Actually Symphonic Metal is pretty new to me so I'm actively looking for other bands within the same genre. By the way Simone Simmons, Smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^_^!
