One of the questions I get asked frequently is what, if any, music do I listen to while writing. Well, I do in fact keep music playing as I write. Usually, the songs are instrumental, ambient selections. I will, however, occasionally pick a specific song while writing a certain scene.
With The Pandemic Sequence, the two albums which were on constant rotation were Antony & the Johnsons' self-titled release, and Black Tape for a Blue Girl's Remnants of a Deeper Purity. Both fit nicely into the more somber scenes of the trilogy.
With Torrance, the go-to play list was the Prometheus soundtrack. The songs blended into the background as I wrote, never really distracting from the process. If you haven't yet seen the movie, I highly suggest you check it out - but more on that in another post.
