I've seen lots of threads related to music (most to MBTI/Enneagram types), but none about what music people choose when they want to create, so here it is.
* What do you create? Sculptures? Origami? Do you draw? Paint? (figurative or abstract?) Write? (Prose or poetry?)
* When you create, do you listen to music or prefer silence/city noise, etc?
* What music do you choose and why? Examples are ̶n̶e̶e̶d̶e̶d̶ welcomed.
* Do you choose different types of music depending on the result you want to get? New music or music you already know?
... or you can just post a video, no worries.
I draw, both figurative and abstract stuff, and write mostly prose-poems, short stories and short novels, and I create different playlists for the scene I want to describe/draw. I also choose different songs depending on the feeling the characters are experiencing. I only use silence when the stories/landscapes are in silence and I feel it's important to capture qualities of said muteness.
When I feel like starting a project but I don't have anything in mind (not a goal), I choose playlists, preferably entire discographies of bands whose sound is "constant and identifiable", so at some point my brain is set in the mood of the band but stops listening to the lyrics. I avoid new music, unless it's instrumental, because I get distracted trying to get what the lyrics say.
Examples:
(especially this symphonic album and this guy's solo career --R.I.P.)

(PS: I love this video)
