Inspiring Music

When I’m working I find music quite helpful, whether I’m doing it for a client or not I always use music. I find that I have a very broad taste in music from rock to even classical. When I work I have to find a piece of music that fits the mood I’m in at the time and it has to fit the art work I’m producing, but I often seem to listen to soundtracks. So here are some YouTube videos that I listen to when I’m working:



"I’m not a hero" by Hans Zimmer is a fantastic piece of music, it’s quite helpful when I’m trying to produce Mono tone imagery. I love the way Hans breaks the old fashion mould of music by creating interesting ways to achieve new sounds, just like the way i like to work, by finding new ways to create imagery that speaks to people in a different, creative way and shows them a new direction to achieve there goal.



This is a fantastic film and another fantastic sound track brought to you by the creative genius, John Murphy.I listen to Sunshine Soundtrack Kanada's Death, Pt. 2 (Adagio in D Minor) when I’m creating space-type images, movies in "AfterEffects". I chose this song because it’s got that feeling for survival in it with the heart beat style drums, but then it switch’s to a more calm, string sound which is relaxing. SO basically it messes with your feelings which helps me create out of the ordinary space themed multimedia.



"Wars" by "HURT" is a really inspiring rock song for me, when i listen to it helps me create war like multimedia from explosive title screens to photoshop imagery. I like the heavy rock tune mixed with a bit Prince of Persia background theme. 

I like and use many more songs and here is a small recent list that i use:

- Green Onions
- Money
- Blues Brothers OST
- Last Samurai OST
- Aimee Mann's version of "One"
- 28 Weeks Later Theme
