[Archive] What music do you listen to while painting?

Karring:

Someone post this topic in a spanish forum I use to visit. I think it was interesting, so… what do you listen (if you listen to music while you are painting)?

Let us know what kind of music brings life to your Chaos Dwarfs!!!

I use to listen to metal or rock. Manowar, near days, but also Judas Priest or Guns n’ Roses.

fairoaks024:

I usually listen to gaming podcasts and audio books while painting, if i listen to music it’ll be 60s/70s ska/reggea/bluebeat

Pyro Stick:

This is probably one of the most repeated threads on the forum lol. Search titles only for keyword music.

I just did some painting and listened to Dimmu Borgir’s Stormblast. I usually like to listen to long doom/drone songs though so ill probably put on Om when i go back in a few minutes.

CopperPot:

Anything indie related, High flying birds at the moment.

Zanko:

Usually I have only time to paint at saturday afternoon and so I hear always “Sportzeit” at radio!

The main topic of the “Sportzeit” is football / soccer in the 1st German League (=Bundesliga)!

Despite this I hear mostly Pagan Folk (Faun, Omnia), the old songs of the “New Wave” era (Neon Judgement, Cure, The Lorries, Front 242, etc), Elektric Music inspired from the dark age (Qntal, Dargaard, Dead can Dance, usw)!

No Heavy Metal … sorry! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

DAGabriel:

Me I am mostly painting in silence, sometimes Queen, Doro.

Discoking:

I’m more in to classic rock (cock rock!) / grunge;

So the likes of: Smashing Pumpkins, Black Sabbath, The Beatles & The Cure can heard.

Although, I do usually prefer to watch/listen to a movie whilst painting.

Rickie:

Mostly Jesse Cook and Tina turner.

brotsorrow:

I love cali punk - Rancid and NOFX but i find i get a little too worked up listening to it, so i prefer long jungle/ house sets - Digweed, Sasha, etc…

PS: i just bought the LMFAO album yesterday to listen to something new while painting

theforgefather:

RADIO 1 FTW!!!

:smiley:

Da Crusha:

I usually do modelling and painting in silence. but on occasion I paint to my girlfriends anime in the back ground, or trance or electronic music. it really just depends on my mood.

Blue in VT:

I’m into American roots music…mostly old acoustic blues…Mance Lipscomb…Mississippi John Hurt… Skip James etc.

That…or Bob Marley…though when he is on I’m rarely in a mood to get much accomplished…:wink:

Cheers,

Blue

Hockey for the win - especially if the Leafs are losing!!!!

Chico:

I tend to listen to Horrorcore/Wicked Shit for those which know of it, its a blend of metal/rock/rap/horror. Artists such as Sicktanick/Razakel/KGP.

rpitts2004:

I enjoy some Spice Girls or Taylor Swift

NoisyAssassin:

I usually just put my entire music collection on random. Nice mix of indie/alt, classic rock, heavy metal, techno, industrial, death metal, etc etc

Ocassionally I will restrict it to one of the above genres, usually industrial/EBM or indie rock depending on the day.

Kera foehunter:

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!! to War party I like all types of music but some are more kick ass to paint by

Sherlocko:

Most of the times some kind of metal. Be it thrash, death or doom or something else. Lately I have had Ghosts album from last year on repeat but some Sepultura, Testament and Pantera is always passable as well.
