What is your favourite working music?

Post by Gente »

What music do you like to listen during:
1. Creative part of the work?
2. Coding?

Whatever I would normally feel like listening to...

- Classic (Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc)
- Old rock (Dion, Manfred Man, etc)
- Punk (NOFX, Pennywise, etc)
- Pop (80's, 90's, etc)
- Country, Blues Grass, etc

Honestly, I listen to everything. I've never not liked most music, even urban hip hop, which as a 'burb living in a Canadian prairie city I have a hard time relating to. I still enjoy it. Some of it anyways.

I have daily preferences...they change constantly. Today, it's Country...

Hocky Tonk Bedunka dunk! :P

I just listen to songs I helped produce. It keeps me motivated.

Cool. What does that require of you? Like composing music? Matching lyrics to beat? Or is that left to the muscian?

I've always had an ear for music, but when entering a production room...looking at all those switches and levers (assuming it's an older studio and not done on a Mac) just made me dizzy...I'd rather watch my computer defrag. :P

What kind of music have your produced? Have any samples?

I just do some hip-hop / r&b production as a hobby. I've got a song in production with an artist I used to work with year ago who I just discovered had talent.

And yeah, the stuff takes a while. Like how book writers take years to write books that take days to read.
