i'm often fascinated by how one art form can influence, intersect with another. today we're talking sound. i'm asking folks (on the etsy forums) to tell us what they listen to... in various circumstances... here's the first....
what are you listening to... while you make your art / craft? (part one!) here's a sampling:

When I have a moment to choose, I look for 80's movies, girly make me cry romance movies, or the Golden Girls...those kinds of things. I'll be watching a Ben & Jerry documentary this weekend for inspiration!

thanks for including me!!
ReplyDeletecute post... I have to check out more music :)
It's just one fun new series after another, RR! Great idea. I listen to Dylan, anything Classical, Coldplay, or watch fun videos if it's later at night.
ReplyDeleteThat was a really cool read. Thanks for including me!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, I love music! I am at this moment listening to a playlist my son gave me before he left for the treeplant season, Gordon Peterson is singing tome at the moment. (Hard Sun). Love the playlist and it reminds me of my boy!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I'm listening to Great Lake Swimmers right now! I love hearing something not too loud and not too quiet when I'm crafting.
ReplyDeletehooray for music! :)
ReplyDeleteokay so my day definitely consists of the "nine to noon" show on ckua.com it is an ecclectic mix of tunes ranging from old soul and blues to indie hiphop, rock and fun neverheardbefore treasures. It doesn't hurt that the dj (lionel rault) is from my little childhood community and he is a musician himself.
besides that I can be found listening to an array of tunes, from Afrobeat, Leonard Cohen, Jazz (miles davis, coltrane etc) Radiohead, lots n' lots of mix c.d.'s full of fun stuff and then some more ckua. because that way I dont have to run to my player to put a new disc in, it's nonstop fun...EXCEPT when they go crazy on the bluegrass! LOL. I can handle one bluegrass song a week..even tho I'm from Alberta - I'm no country bumpkin. LOL.
Keep inspiring Sweet Woman!! you are a treasure!! XOXO!
WoW! It's usually really quiet here and I don't listen to music much, hence the dog snoring comment! I am going to look up some of these bands though.. maybe I will find something I like. Love all the items featured here, and how they coordinate. Thank you for including me!
ReplyDeleteI started listening to books on cd while I work and I'm hooked!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun post and thanks so much for including me among these wonderful and talented artists...I'm inspired to try to listen to something, maybe in the mornings :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this post too, although I often don't listen to anything when I'm working. For me, listening to music is usually its own exclusive activity. But it is interesting to see what kinds of music get people's creative juices flowing!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by Maria's comment -- books on cd. I was thinking of downloading some monologues by an actor/writer I really like. Similar idea.
I listen to CBC Radio One while I am sewing. If it's a program that doesn't interest me, I put on a CD from my rather eclectic collection.
ReplyDeleteNeat rikrak! And nice collection of stuff! I'm like Cathy in Sarnia...CBC radio and when it's not interesting CDs. Right now I'm listening to Calixo over and over because I just bought it!
