Inspirational Instrumentals

[nascentechuva]

When you write novels or draw comics, do you listen to instrumentals/ epic scores? Music with little to no lyrics. I find that my fellow fantasy writers do this a lot, but what about other genres?

My favorite is by Danny Elfman, who fuels some of my future scenes in *cough***A Narrator's Role. Feel free to link down in this thread, music and/or works, I love suggestions and reads inspired by music!

Ah heck yeah I do!

Audiomachine, Really Slow Motion, Max Richter, Dwayne Ford are just a few of my favorites to listen to while working on the comic

Been on a Really Slow Motion kick of late so here is one of their pieces:

Heck.
For me, it's usually jazz. Art Blakey, Chet Baker, and sometimes BimBamBoom. I usually write regular pieces of fiction, so I guess that's appropriate.
Oh, and lo-fi too.

I agree with @Heliox14

Vince Guaraldi has some AMAZING instrumentals that you might like ^_^

Giorni Dispari is 100% one of the most beautiful classical pieces I listen to.

Anime and VGM OSTs for me. Huge fan of the My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Naruto: Shippuden soundtracks for anime specifically. In video games, I really enjoy Zelda (any OST from that series, really), FEZ, and Stardew Valley.

I have a big playlist where I've compiled all of my favorite instrumental music. It's got (lemme check) 286 pieces so far, and it's only growing.

Honestly, I listen to instrumentals in the car like how regular people listen to pop/rock on the radio. I'm afraid that in the future, if I'm riding with friends and they hand me the aux cord, I'll let them down with some Mattia Cupelli...

I only recently discovered Mattia Cupelli, (amazing music!) so you wouldn't disappoint me xD
