    Agreed, add some Antti Martikainen to my music for starts. Here's my 2-cents:

    A chill one:

    A darker one:

    Natural sounds:

    Gegorian chant-esk:

    Gladiator!:

    One from Adrain Von Zeigler! I love that guy. Haven't heard of the other artists, their songs sound cool too. I'll definitly check this out... When I'm tired of Angel with a Shotgun. :P

    Honestly, it never occured to me that listening to music could help with writing. I'll be sure to try it out when I can!

    I have tried it a few times before and I don't like it. It is too distracting.

    I like having the music on a 'background level' although I do tend to have a single track on repeat. It all depends on the 'pulse' of a chapter. My music swaps about depending on what I'm writing. For instance....

      This is when I'm writing dark chapters. 

     Just to show I really don't care about image....... Yes I honestly have this playing when I'm writing about Aela and Sotek's relationship (the fun stuff, not arguments. I have a different piece for that. I have the art in the top left corner of the blog.

    Sotek Bad Wolf of the Blog......

    Yea... Ferocious and terrifying !!!

    This is pretty much my deal with music and writing too. If I'm tryna sit down and write a story, I don't focus too well with music on. The most music I'll put on is the Skyrim Atmosphere's track and it's not even a song. Just ambient noise. 

    I will say though, I'm suprised how many writers here listen to music. Epic music no less. I'm used to music of that intensity, mind. Death metal is my 1%. But I just don't know how you all do it. I would get way too into the music.

    I think it's been scientifically proven that soft Classical music stimulates the brain and inxreases productivity. I'll dig up the study.
