You might have guessed that I'm one of those people who require background music when writing. Well, that music does a lot to shape the tone of what I'm writing, so the playlist is very important. For this rewrite, and throughout the writing of RKC and a few other stories (cough Oracle cough, I've been listening to ambient music, but not only instrumentals. Delerium is a longtime favourite, and a lot of the vocalists they feature use sounds to convey tone and emotion rather than words. I've also recently discovered a budding artist by the name of David Maxim Micic. It's his music I want to feature today.
As with last week, I'm showcasing multiple songs. Below you should find the complete Bilo EP from the artist's Soundcloud, legally streaming. He's also got a few legal downloads floating around out there, but I haven't tracked them down. Of the four songs (or movements?) on this album, "IV" is definitely my most favourite. Take a listen and you'll soon see why!
I must be one of the few who does writing in silence. I think that's mostly because I have no idea how to go about creating a playlist... presuming I had soemthing to play a play list from. Me and earphones don't tend to get along, and I'm not sure I want to invest in the mickymouse noise cancling ones, my hubby likes. :}
ReplyDeletegonna be completely honest here. i know that when i write "more serious works," like Elsie and RKC, i'm thinking ahead to what the story would look and sound like when interpreted to screen, hahah. not that i plan to have anything go that far, but it's always a niggling thought in my mind. so the soundtrack is important for me.
