8 for that art ask cuz I need new music to listen to
UH. I pick music based on what I’m drawing. Otherwise, THEMUSIC PICKS ME…
Hello, here’s basically everything on my phone plus a few otherthings. Not all of it is for kids.
I use music to control my mood. I do this ALL THETIME, not just when drawing, ‘cause I’m a mess. So like, if I want to drawsomething calm, I need music that is relaxing without being boring. I getfrustrated if it’s boring. If I want to draw something angry, I need music thatgives me energy, makes me stiffen, yet doesn’t actually make me FEEL angry-just go through the motions. Like, I don’t want to BE angry. I want to EXPRESSanger. Being angry equals art block.
And because I’m always listening to stuff,I actually don’t like being linked to videos and music ‘cause it’s disruptive.I appreciate them, but I don’t really want to watch them. We have to actuallybe engaged in a topic for me to be like, “Yes, I want the thing this person isoffering.” I normally don’t say anything, though, and just pretend I watched itby skipping to the middle and then the end. >_>
AND THEN, same songs don’t always have the same effect. IfI’m feeling angry, but I want to draw something grumpy, I need something thathas that ‘power’ to it, but is also calming to reduce my own anger buildup. So a song that might work when I’m feeling neutral won’t work if I’m already hyped up.
I’ll listen to basically anything if it gives me a mood orif I attach it to a memory, so even if I wouldn’t like it otherwise, I mightlike it in relation to ONE THING…
And then when I’m drawing, sometimes I’ll go for a playlist,sometimes it’s one song on repeat for DAYS. Two Lindrel comics that each took afull weekend were just one song on repeat. Usually, I’ll have one song onrepeat for the sketch, then some random playlist or autoplay string on YouTubeof similar music (like, by the same artist) for the lines, and then by the timeI’m coloring I am BORED and I need ENTERTAINMENT, so I’ll either put on moreenergetic/interesting stuff or let’s play videos. Not stuff that’s just forlearning, though. Like, I can’t listen to documentaries or how-to videos- theytake too much focus away from drawing.
So like, quiet stuffthat’s mostly emptier or lighter: A Silver Mt. Zion, Sufjan Stevens, Detektivbyrån, Imogen Heap, Passion Pit, Isaac Shepard
Happier, moreenergetic stuff: Mika,Alexander Rybak, Vitas (YEAH, I SAID IT,ILESII. I LIKE THE BLBLBLBL MAN. FIGHT ME.), Die Ärzte, Faun, Mumford & Sons, P!nk, Pogo, Patrick Wolf, Yelle
Stuff that’s neutralor has a range but is usually a little heavy: Blue October, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis,Sia, Stromae, Yann Tiersen
Stuff that’s got more‘power’ to it, where it’s got energy but isn’t hyper: Woodkid, Florence + The Machine, Maître Gims
I mean, gotta put thefavorite that I use as white noise when I’m coloring: Rammstein
Foreign rap typestuff, ‘cause I mean… YES? And do you know how little of what I like is oniTunes?: Cheek, Fintelligens, Elastinen, Fettes Brot
Stuff that makes methink of weirder stuff: Pretty Balanced, Regina Spektor, Coco Rosie
And then there aresome where I like… maybe one or two songs, but haven’t really listened to theirother stuff or didn’t like the next ‘related videos’ links enough to dig deeper:Adele (Rolling in theDeep), Alligatoah (LassLiegen), BABYMETAL (Karate),Kitsune (Zoro), C2C (Delta), Stuck in theSound (Let’s Go), AWOLNATION(Sail), LudmilaGurchenko and Boris Moiseev (Peterburg Leningrad, Nenavizhu), CasseursFlowters (J’essaye,j’essaye, Change depote, La mort dudisque), Charlie XCX (BoomClap), Sniper (Brule),Chris Brown (I CanTransform Ya), Coldplay (Hymn for the Weekend), Laibach(Tanz mit Laibach), TheCowsills (Hair –AlsoI had that as a ringtone for my sister until my phone ate it. I don’t think I’veever drawn to it, but I saw it and it made me snicer.), Cro (Meine Gang), Disturbed (The Sound of Silence),Empire of the Sun (Alive),Hailee Steinfeld (LoveMyself), Indila (DernièreDanse), JAY Z & Kanye West (Niggas in Paris –It usedto play every day when I was in college to the point my partner called it ‘oursong.’ Also her favorite rapper was Lil Wayne.), Lil Wayne (Mirror), Kazaky (Love), Ke$ha (Blow), Kimbra (Settle Down), Labrinth (Earthquake), LukasGraham (7 Years), TheLumineers (Ophelia), MarcAnthony (Vivir Mi Vida),Olavi Uusivirta (Tuu munvaimoksein), Maroon 5 (LoveSomebody), Melanie Martinez (Dollhouse), Metric (Help I’m Alive), MGMT (Kids), Miyavi (Jibun Kakumei, Horizon, Selfish Love), Coldplay(Paradise),ThePianoGuys (Peponi(Coldplay’s Paradise)), Ghost in the Shell (Inner Universe), O-Zone(Dragostea Din Tei),Tinie Tempah (Children ofthe Sun), PSY (GangnamStyle, Gentleman),Rihanna (Diamonds),The Script (Hall of Fame),Shakira (Waka Waka),Shawn Mendes (Stitches),Alexander Rybak (FelaIgjen), Fettes Brot (Erdbeben,Emanuela), SteamPowered Giraffe (Honeybee),The Strumbellas (Spirits),Thirty Seconds to Mars (ThisIs War), Twenty One Pilots (Heathens, Car Radio, House of Gold), Vintazh(Mikki), The Wanted (Glad You Came),Will.I.Am (Bang Bang,Scream & ShoutHit-Boy Remix), E Nomine (Das Omen), Super JuniorM (Super Girl), YokoKanno (Be Human –I can’t find it on YouTube, but I bought it on iTunes. Lyrics.),Tinashe (Zambezi),The Hobbit (The MistyMountains Cold), Skyrim (Dragonborn)
I normally don’t listento movie/game soundtracks, but: I like a lot of the Cirque du Soleil CD’s,especially Alegria, La Nouba, and Corteo. I also like the Sea Shanty songs fromAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, ‘though I’ve never played the game. xD;; And Ilike almost all of the UndertaleSoundtrack.
I don’t normally like country or broadway styles. I dunno,the pacing and the style of singing normally doesn’t suit my moods.
Also, I associatesome songs more with certain characters, so I might gravitate towards certainsongs if I’m just doodling and I don’t have an emotion I need to portray. Or, if I hear the song, I can’t stop thinking about the character.
Lindrel’s mostly Sia (especially Chandelier, meanwhile Elastic Heart makes methink of him training his kids) and Imagine Dragons (Radioactive, Nothing Left To Say / Rocks).Sometimes A Silver Mt. Zion (Stumble Then Rise On SomeAwkward Morning)
Finn is Stromaeand Casseurs Flowters.
Suri is Studio Killers’ song Jenny. Not the lyrics,though. Just the tone of the song. Pretend you’re like me and have troublehearing and comprehending lyrics and you’re good.
Cinric is Miike Snow’s song Genghis Khan. Only thesound, too, ‘cause those lyrics don’t match him, either. I really don’t listento lyrics. Like, why think of Lindrel every time I hear Chandelier? He doesn’tDRINK. >:U
Some stuff just makes me want to draw, like C2C’s song Delta and this mixcalled Chop Dem Hearts.Chop Dem Hearts is one that I listened to for WEEKS on repeat.WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS.
Pitch couldn't help but feel...a little uncomfortable. Jack, the boy he'd been tormenting and distressing, he was now in front of him, asking for a taste of fear, a taste of darkness. This could be the highlight of turning Jack. Using this, he could perhaps entice the younger Guardian into his grasp. But the only thing was...
He looked exactly like Pitch. The Boogeyman had already heard of the great power these...'Magic Anons' held, but he had not yet seen that power in action, until now. It was rather intriguing, to approach an exact copy of himself, only to find that it's nature and mannerism belonged to the King of Nightmares' enemy.
"How interesting..." He purred as he circled Jack, feeling rather vain as he practically admired himself. "You wish to flick your tongue across pure terror, little snowflake?" He questioned before taking the familiar chin gently within his hand, and laying a kiss upon Jack's temporary lips.
It was...an odd sensation, to say the least, and although the body was not Jack's, Pitch could still feel the cold touch of frost as he pulled away and grinned.
"Now...Do you not have places to be, or did you want another?"
