Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Vince someone told me once they liked to paint to talk radio..Opey and anthony maybe,..I think id be wanting to feed the minis to Rush Limbaugh about 5 min into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I like talk radio quite a bit, at least when I am driving. I have a radio in my painting room, .but i usually paint to the television...usually the Discovery Channel. I think though, I want to get a dvd player in there, so I can paint while watching movies and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james sequeira Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I quite like heavy rap , as if lol, anything thats catchy and good the killers, RHCP, kooks ect. Most of the time I put films on but I prefer tv series so they will keep me painting for a fair while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Vikey I will admit I do that also((tv/movies)) even if im not watching it but just listening..in my work room I have the pc to the front and the tv to the right , so something is constantly going if not both..but working and people im you can be annoying I find it best to do it with the pc off.even audio books is pretty good. James I like Lil john but I feel like I wanna riot afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1001 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Some blues like Taj Mahal or some jazz, lol, gets me in the mood. But a nce bottle of wine always does the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Emily Autum, Spiderbait, English Beat, Police, Dresden Dolls, Tool, Mindless Techno, Nat King Cole, Zydeco, Pantera, Sepletura, L7, pretty much anything from the 80's ... I could go on. Mainly though I listen these days while I'm working on one thing or another, answering e-mails, etc. I haven't picked up a paint brush in almost a year and a half.

Coneman Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I listen to a local radio station that plays mainly 80's music along with the better stuff from recent times. I havnt put a CD in the player for quite awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Gah! *80's music giving painful high school flashbacks* :ahhhhh: Stuff I listen to but you're probably never heard of: Balligomingo Rose Chronicles Delerium older Sarah McLachlan stuff L'Arc-en-Ciel Hyde Lunik Bel Canto various anime soundtracks :music: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon_Wulf Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Depends what I'm painting. I'll usually listen to something in a style that'll inspire me for what I'm doing - dark, gloomy, futuristic stuff a la Rezolution or Dark Age will get music like Mlada Fronta, while say Western Cowboy style minis will get the soundtrack to the good, the bad and the ugly....

EricJ Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 sometimes I do get the feeling that I am the only painter out there that actually does listen to rap while painting...and I don't mean the crap R&B they try to pass off as rap now days, real rap! Also I have a TON of DJ sets saved, which I throw on sometimes. I also often paint to TV, usually sports, Hockey recently, but baseball is great too since it doesn't demand much attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauth81 Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Normally, I put my audio books in the CD player while painting. I´ve got Lord of the Rings in German and English, The Hobbit, Dracula and some Lovecraft stuff. If I put music in there, it depends on my mood and I prefer something slow while painting. Most of the time some experimental/industrial electro stuff gets selected then. I don´t know what would happen if I put more aggressive music on, CombiChrist for example. I guess I would screw the mini badly ... Sometimes (I paint sitting at my desk) I have the PC running and a) listen to internet radio (www.digitalgunfire.com) or watch people playing bloodbowl online on fumbbl.com.

Ritual Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I prefer to listen to slow, atmospheric dark ambient or industrial music. Something dark and evocative that gets me in the mood. Not too up-tempo or noisy as that makes me distracted. One artist that's been spinning in my CD player a lot during painting sessions lately is Lustmord. Great stuff!

Xenon_Wulf Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Oooh. Yeah, Lustmord is quite awesome, same as with older stuff by Delerium. If you like Lustmord, you might want to give This Morn Omina and Mlada Fronta a listen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Earlier TMO is quite good, I think, but the more recent albums are too trancey for my taste. Mlada Fronta is great, though, and I allready have most of his stuff! I also listen a lot to bands from a Swedish label called Cold Meat Industry! Today I've been spinning Erotikon by Deutsch Nepal a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 sounds like we are as diversified in our music as our likes and styles of minis, someone mentioned sound tracks,.. one I have which is all pretty much instrumental is the soundtrack to "Conan the Barbarian" the first movie..more good ambient for painting or gaming..lots of horns and drums.here is a link so you can get a taste: http://www.radioblogclub.com/search/0/conan_anvil_of_crom I searched for lustmord but couldnt find it.

Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ritual very different indeed has a sort of Blade Runner feel to the music, seems a very fitting mood music for 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queeny Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 O boy, what a weird ecclectic range of sounds I'll have here, just a few.. Tool Metallica Red Hot Chili Peppers Police Patsy Cline Credence Eagles Nirvana Weird Al Rancid Ramones All mixed together in a random mix.

Zeke Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Wow, Lustmord is the scariest thing I have ever heard.... I listen to Progressive metal... and Folk Metal.. Like Rhapsody (Rhapsody of Fire now.. name change) and Fairyland (lame name, great music) they are both on iTunes.. - Progressive Metal and Turisas and Korpiklaani.. Turisas is great battle music with tavern type songs.. with a metal feel... Both great to paint with... or Enigma when I want quiet.

lauth81 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Finally came around to visit the Lustmord myspace site and listen to the tracks. I really like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yeah, Lustmord is really great. One of the best dark ambient artists ever! But then he's been doing it longer than most... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumrice Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I tend not to listen to metal or heavy rock when painting, I need calming down when painting, not geared up! I can get very irritated when painting if its not going my way and metal music just adds to the rage! there is nothing worse than painters rage, when the blending process goes horribly wrong. If im listening to music I need to just have background music, either the radio or some poppy rubbish. Helps me concentrate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
