music in your ears?

Busted all the way!

I like to listen to music while I work but I don’t like it to interfere with my thought process so I mostly listen to instrumentals – it’s like working/thinking to your own soundtrack.

DJ Krush
RJD2
Prefuse 73

A lot of movie soundtracks, almost everything from MUSH records, a lot of (but not everything) from Ninja Tune, and more that I’m forgetting to list.

I like a variety of music not much do.

Most of the time I don't listen to music. I wear silicon earplugs, during the day, and during the night. For those rare occasions when I'm not bombarded with noise and care about listening anything, I like either quiet, meditative music, or bird songs, rivers, creeks, rain sounds.

?? ... Hey c'mon... lol ... birds? rain sounds? ... What are you? A budhist?

You don't like Rock... or at least Jazz, or classical music? How old are you? ...
So much for designers having great taste for art in general It's weird, but you don't like music. Maybe you should try to pop the silicon earplugs and listen to some of the stuff in my playlist

I love the old time jazz stuff...

Thelonious Monk
John Coltrane
Duke Ellington
Wes Montgomery
Louis Armstrong

I just discovered The Massacre, 50 Cent's new album (Just a Lil BIt, Candy Shop) His lyrics are so offensive it's funny...

When I get past the voices in my head I get to hear some pretty diverse music.

I think Travis are awesome (maybe cause they are Scottish ). I am digging some Greenday, Switchfoot, Linkin Park and The good old Beastie Boys right now. When I am running or riding my bikes I have Slipknot or Primer 55 in my ears. They get me all fired up .

Casper

I like

Jill Scott, Jay-Z, Missy Elliot, I've been REALLY getting into Patti Smith, The Darkness, Al Green,Ben Harper, Joseph Arthur, Chaka Khan, Alanis Morissette, Erykah Badu, Martin Sexton, Melissa Ferrick.

I pretty much listen to anything. Though, I can't listen to ANYTHING while I'm designing. hehe.

As a musician, I know what you mean cause I feel the same way. I met those people. Actually I quit college, in part because it was an engineering college where most of the people were that way. They thought music was a waste of time. Child's play. And I've actually met people (a girl) who said she didn't really LIKE music.

I must feel sorry for someone who says that. They obviously have some kind of disturbance that stops them from enjoying basic capabilities, like the ability to see beauty, balance and meaning in certain things. I think it's a known problem with a psychanalist definition. Those people sometimes find also difficult to dream, understand the concept of perfection and feel simpathy for the pain of others.

EDIT: the section of the human brain that feels music is yet a complete mistery to science, and recent investigations admit that it's actually evolving with the passing of generations. People are listening to music more and more and they believe it will unlock new possibilities in day by day comunication, because it's a part of the way our brains will work someday. So actually music is much more than an art, or a form of "sonic design" with tones and rythms. It's part of how societies will work in a distant future (possibly).

I was a lead guitarist when I was 16. I used to listen to Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Black Sabbath, ect. when I was in my teens. I'd have to have that music playing when I was creating art.
Through art college it was Bauhaus, New Order. I also went through a sixties phase. Started listening to the messages of the times in the music. I wanted to understand that generation better. Gave up the guitar full time and picked up the brushes and computer.
Throughout the 90's, starting with 1989, I became a lead singer. I was doing everything in rock's history. Loved it. I also became a designer for a company.

Nowadays, I love to listen to spiritual music. Meditation, singing Tibetan bowls, all the Pure Moods CDs. Music is so condusive to creativity. It also can physically heal, or can damage; by the waves it sends out.

Try this at home!
Get a huge drawing pad and some markers, crayons, paint, ect.
Put on your favorite music.
Close your eyes and just move with the music as if you're conducting the music.

The results are awesome.
