itunes has a radio feature that has streams of music spanning multiple genres. Their ambient stream is good background music
>>7674239
depends on your writing
if you're looking for soothing stuff then Eno is your choice
Movie soundtracks, especially the Man from Snowy River or Far and Away. If there's any lyrics then I get distracted, but with Far and Away on I get so much shit done.
Godspeed you! Black emperor
>>7674239
don't write in the first place, because really, what kind of dumbass asks this particular question?
>>7674239
Merzbow
Classical music. Baroque, prefer it without organ. Cool jazz. Anything that goes a long time without skipping to the next song and where the music wanders around.

This desu
ceiling fan noise
don't write using music unless you're specifically using it to bring about a certain mood
>>7674239
If I do write with music, it's usually chill or atmospheric vidya music.
>>7674239
Generally not. I used to take the Stephen King approach and write while taking stims and listening to rock, but I think I do better work with a little white or street noise and sober.
I enjoy Erik Satie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slahwoLdEIE
or drone
Van der graaf generator
The first (hippy) album

This is what I listen to when writing philosophical contemplations in prose.
>>7677432
have you never created a thread on an imageboard like what the fuck m8
Just listen to what gets the vibes going for you.
Down tempo or just ambiance shit
Start a Pandora station for" the album leaf" or "Hayling" or even Breath by telepopmusik and just let it go from there
I make my own tracks when listening sometimes. Usually ill just play a few notes and then extent it into a 20 minute long drone track
Ariel Pink
Moon man
Ulver
Future
Kendrick Lamar
Archers of Loaf
Peter Sotos
You know you're a terrible writer when you listen to music while writing

Just Selected Ambient Works, right?
Some of his stuff can get a bit too active for general writing. But I fall asleep to Stone in Focus. Great artist, so much variation in his music. Wish that Soundcloud was still there.
OP, I recommend the channel Space Ambient on youtube. Some Bonobo is decently chill, as well as Eastern Sun.I'll also listen to ambient game soundtracks by Jeremy Soule, anything he touches is relaxing and atmospheric

Why?
You sound like that autistic fuck on /ck/ who thinks that every meal you cook, even ramen while by yourself, should be enjoyed at the table with no browsing, no TV, no nothing.
Why does listening to ambient music make you a bad writer? I find myself distracted and antsy in utter silence.

I find ambient shit like some of Tangerine Dream's stuff helps

its no different than being outside and listening to the bustling of people, or trees blowing in the wind, or birds chirping.
>listening to things clouds your imagination because you didnt make the music yourself its borrowed inspiration etc etc
>>7674239
Go with your favourite radio station, I find that if I listen to my own music I get distracted picking songs, but a station that just plays a genre helps by having one less thing to thimk about,
Brian Eno

Swing jazz
fast enough tempo to write along with the music
>>7680807
>not listening to the one true chopiner, pubenstein himself
Or pretty much any Bill Frisell really.
Good Dog Happy Man is just fantastic.

I often read to the Blade Runner soundtrack while reading. So soothing.
Year ago such threads were quickly dismissed with share of common sense arguments, most common one being that you are intended to read the work as the author presented, not effected by emotive effect any music might give, or other argument that you can't keep properly concentrated on on the book while also listening to music. Now I see all these seemingly unironic(except moonlight sonata one) posts on what music they listen to in a relatively long lasting thread.
What happened to you, lit.
I am autist i can't read with music or any noice.
>>7682755
what do you mean unironic? and why do you think that the moonlight sonata post is ironic?
you DO know that OP said writing, not reading, right?
>>7674239
Depends on what I'm write desu.

theres a mega with soundcloud rips.
Personally when I write I listen to the following artists:
World's End Girlfriend
John Zorn
Deafheaven
Acid Mothers Temple
Goldie
and a bunch of others. Might not all suit your tastes, but I'm sure some of it will.

No music REQUIRES active listening you sperg.
Are you one of those people who is afraid he'll insult the musician or w/e if he doesn't devote his complete attention when listening all the time every time?
