Do you listen to music when you do art?

[Godhead59]

Hey peeps!

I have an interesting question for you. Do the artists among you listen to music when you do create your pieces? If so, what music do you listen to when you go about a drawing/painting/whatever, and how do you think it affects your final product?

I listen to a lot of Opeth, Nevermore, Swallow the Sun, Porcupine Tree & Dark Suns (Swanlike of course) when I create my art, and I think it does, to some extent, make my art darker. I think the sounds you take in, even subconsciously, become combined with your current mental state and events occurring around you, and eventually affects the way your art looks or sounds.

Feel free to share your arts, people!

porcupine tree makes your art darker?

How much PT have you heard? There is definitely a dark side to a lot of their current music.

 

[Vuashke]

for absentia?

 

[BlueSky]

"In" Absentia. That cd is definitely on the dark side my friend.

 

[Vuashke]

dark as in, it makes me feel sad that such music is allowed to exist in this world

haha

jokes aside, fear of a black planet > fear of a blank planet

 

[BlueSky]

You've said some pretty loopy things before... wait I take that back. Everything you say is about one short of dozen, but this takes the cake.

 

[Vuashke]

public enemy were great

porcupine tree makes your art darker?

Nah, stuff like "Collapse the Light into Earth" makes it all colorful and happy!

^wtf




And to stay on topic, yes, I listen to music while I paint/draw etc.

 

[Vuashke]

listening to public enemy inspires me to get out and do something worthwhile for people that need better treatment

 

[Godhead59]

You're an odd creature.

 

[BlueSky]

Don't try to make sense of him. The only sense I've made is there is no sense, and everything is the exact opposite of logical.

 

[Vuashke]

because rap music is always about drugs and violence right? nothing political ever nup

i may not like the delivery very much but i like what public enemy say. whats that, rap is shit? i dont give a fuck

That song is not dark at all! In Absentia was a fluffy, light album, nothing about murderers or anything like. Or abusive parents. Just nice stuff.

But back on topic, I draw scarcely, usually just doodles, but music is inspiration for many things and keep up the good work.

Amusing how most of you people haven't heard of Fear of a Black Planet which is way superior to Fear of a Blank Planet. "hi guiz i r only liek progresiv metulz, porpcuine tree and otpeth<33 ddddddd, i h8 hiphop its al comershal n stuf an totaly shit genre lol all of it sux balz progmetulz is betar"
