Music to make models go by
-
one song on repeat.
Fergaliscious
Thats all I need. Ever.
Okay, I may be kidding, I listen to a lot of the Tragically Hip, Reel Big Fish, Breaking Benjamin, Benny Benassi, Tiesto, Techno, and rock in general!
-
To be honest Guys,
I haven't heard a lot of the stuff mentioned.
But I do like quality music [with a capital Q].
When I'm busy doing a groovy SU model I often put on a disk of Lawrence Welk's Greatest Hits [volume5]...or even The Best of Mantovani.
If you want to listen to something a bit more modern and hip-hop [as it were], you cant go past Richard Clayderman!Stu

okay, well hopefully everyone has heard of Tatu, a teen russian ... band and ... show ahahah

Seeing those Kompressor tubes reminded me of the truly great Nash The Slash , who had a cult following in the early 1980's. I've just enjoyed watching a number of his performances.

Nash was definitely a bit more polished than Kompressor, but you are right...there is a certain insane shared aesthetic...or maybe it's just the masks!
Is Nash really covering Astronomy Domine on an electric ukulele in one of those videos?
Thanks for bringing him to my attention.

I also have the Requiem on my 'pod. Of course, it's a rather shocking shuffle to go from that to "Under My Wheels."
Better that than "Dead Babies".
Heard Mendelssohn's Elijah performed at Frank Gehry's Pritzker the other night. Might have to add that to the playlist at work. Very good pice of music at an outstanding outdoor theater.

Opera is also a good music for late nights at the computer. Carmina Burana comes to mind, although I'm not sure that it technically qualifies as opera.

I do have both the Orff version of Carmina and Philip Pickett's "medieval" interpretation of the poems on my Ipod, too. Of course, Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi does not encourage model making. Rather, on listening I find myself fighting the urge to put on polished plate armor, mount a warhorse, and ride through a grove of flowering fruit trees to almost certain death in battle against the forces of evil.
Oh, wait...no, that's a flashback from Excalibur.

Orff makes me thirsty.

Have you guys heard of Hevia?
http://www.hevia.es/Interesting to hear Bagpipes from Spain. Good stuff though.

Blue Man Group! - it's amazing what they do with PVC
If I need a laugh break, They Might Be Giants, Weird Al, or David Petete will do the job - I especially like David's "I'm Just a Kidney Stone (I'll soon be passing through)".P&W can also help me focus and Classical music gets the creative juices flowing - it's amazing that the genius of Bach or Mozart can be somewhat contagious (even if only temporarily).
Oh, and I really liked the title of this thread - a takeoff on a classic crooner's song...

Currently: Nash the Slash, "Children of the Night". I bought the album off of ITunes.
What a find! Thanks, Ross. To think that I've lived within an hour or two of the Canadian border for twenty years, and I'd never heard of this guy! And I've even listened to Numan, and somehow missed that he hung out for a while with this crazed mandolin player who performs with his face entirely covered by surgical gauze...
I emailed the YouTube clip of Nash doing "Wolf/Glass Eye" to a friend of mine who works for Gehry. She really liked it as well. So just imagine: there's a distinct possibility that in the office of the World's Most Famous Architect, someone is currently "rocking down" to the tunes of "thee ee-lick-troneek" Nash the Slash.

What music helps you model faster or inspires you to create?
Steve Vai, Joe Satriani . . . then, sometimes I make my own music by picking up one of the axes and playing it through headphones using a Korg PX-3 - I paid $60 for a used, abused and totally trashed axe & keep it next to my desk at work - the neck is in great shape - it's a tele-clone . . . when nobody's around, or when I close the door, I usually play through the crummy computer speakers (yechhh) . . . rock on! -
hehehe
well i like instrumental and simphonical music
