What Kind of Music Sparks Your Creativity?

[Mike Kowalski]

I find that listening to smooth, chill jazz helps me think of new ideas, or listening to very chill ambient-like music really gets my imagination going.

What about you guys?

I basically like all types of music and it depends on my mood but
-Daft punk
-song of the dragon born( )
-Radical face
-talking heads
-rock in general

Yea true, it depends on my mood too

If I am feeling really philosophical or inquisitive I will listen to jazz like BADBADNOTGOOD...or if I am feeling daydreamy I will listen to artists like Shlohmo or Flying Lotus

I can gain motivation from lots of different kind of music but instrumental bands like God Is An Astronaut and Explosions In The Sky are really great to get me in the mood. ^^

Depends on the project I guess and what it is I am hoping to accomplish. In general, just having any music somewhere going on helps me focus. I remember reading this article that talked about classical music helping you learn and retain information, but the down side being that the associative quality of the music is such that people would require it to be being played during a a time when they needed to recall the information. Such as during an exam. Never had an issue though. I just always keep all the music playing every moment I can. Just makes life better.
