I normally don't paint to music.
OTR or audiobooks for me. OR better yet… New Zealand Black Caps cricket on streaming when they are playing…

Alkan (classical piano). Check out Alberic Magnard's symphonies -- the only classical composer I know who was killed in combat. In 1914 he decided no German is going to set foot on his farm. So he holed up in his farmhouse and and shot at the advancing German troops when they came onto his land. Being Germans, they blew up his house and his remains were never found. |

Not too much sound and fury; I need something that will keep my hands steady . . . Palestrina, Corelli, Avison, Haydn, Mozart. Oberst Radl: Consider George Butterworth, called the most promising English composer of his generation. Joined the army as an enlisted man at the outbreak of WWI, made Lieutenant, but was killed at the Somme. Ironically, just before the war he had set some of A. E. Housman's poetry to music, including the lines "They carry back bright to the coiner the mintage of man,
The lads that will die in their glory and never be old." |

Butterworth was a wonderful composer of that English Revival Movement from the 1890's to WW1. You might also like Peter Warlock or Havergal Brian, although these are slightly later. |

Thanks War Artisan. Anybody know any more classical composers killed in the service of their country? It would make good Memorial Day listening. |
| Orcbuddy | 17 May 2013 6:52 p.m. PST |
Tangerine Dream, Ulrich Schnauss or David Benoit are my "music to paint by" choices! |

I paint at a table in theliving room so I don't often listen to music when painting I listen to whatever Mrs Elenderil has on the TV. If I am on my own I tend to stick to stuff I know really well so it doesn't impact on my focus. So that would be stuff like Led Zeppelin, Fairport Convention, great Big Sea, Oysterband, Jethro Tull. If I'm doing classical I'm partial to Vivaldi or Rodriguez. |

I must have listened to every Pink Floyd Album at least 100 times. If I have a real long day of painting ahead then it needs to be something quite chilled, some Cafe Del Mar perhaps or even a bit of Baroque/Classical. Sometimes not in the mood for music at all, in which case I turn to the great archive of the BBC's 'In Our Time' Radio Programme and educate myself, perhaps with something relevant to what I am painting. link |

iPod on shuffle – 9500 tracks from renaissance dance music to Rage Against The Machine. I'll paint to any of it. |

I actually listen to Audio books, mostly Lord of the Rings….about 20 times at least…unabridged… tom |
| Your Kidding | 07 Oct 2013 7:45 p.m. PST |
Mainly talk radio. If I can make out what they are saying then I speed up the pace. Only exception is when my college team plays then when they loose at least I got something done. |

Anything and everything finds its way to my stereo while I paint. I prefer some music to quiet. But depending on the mood, it could be pop/rock (usually vintage), classical, soundtracks, old country rock, world music (sitar! Flamenco! Celtic!), or jazz (roaring 20s, swing, bebop, west coast cool). Military music from various times and places is also a favorite (no Nazi stuff, tho'). Sometimes an audio book is just the right thing, too. I've listened to the Silmarillion several times through while painting and it's very enjoyable. |
