For 54% of writers, music is a major motivator and helps them write. Listening to music trumps traveling, walking, or reading other writers; music is motivation. But there are many types of music, and we wanted to find out what kind of music inspires authors. We have, for example, friends who point directly to movie soundtracks. This is what Rafael Benjumea offers, such as the complete soundtrack to Alberto Iglesias' Hable con ella or Phillip Glass' Morning Passages theme for the soundtrack to The Hours. It is Phillip Glass and his soundtracks that are among the most offered by writers. There are users who use different music depending on the topic they are writing about and the tone to use depending on the occasion. For Merche Ponce, Divenire Ludovico transports her to a magical world. Isabel Martinez loves singer Fleury for her sad or heavy scenes, songs like Breathe or Hurricane. Not to be confused with the classic Bob Dylan song Hurricane, which we use, for example, for a travel story. Isabel also notes that with Ruelle and Aurora she can transport herself to other worlds. This music is a real poem writer help because when you're writing poetry, it's especially important to transport yourself into a world of fantasy, allegories and rhymes. There aren't many suggestions with rock music, although Jimmy L. Sutton tells us that he is currently writing with Who are you? the band The Who. Another mythical band that sounds on our list of motivation for writers is Pink Floyd, whose "Dark Side of the Moon" assures Daniel Hermosel that a novel came out of it. Other suggestions come from Evelyn Oller, who offers Lost on you by LP, or Suara Baal, who makes a bid for soundtracks to Hayao Miyazaki's films. Angel Harkim takes us back to those rainy days with a thunderstorm in the background, offering an aria Ah, non credea Bellini's mirarti. For sad scenes, Adri Ana offers a Space and Time composition from an "anime" about magic and mysteries called xxxHOlic. Txema Pinedo, with songs by Angus & Julia Stone, Kat Edmonson or Andrew Bird: "I use it to write poems, stories and children's stories." For her part, Patricia Monteoliwa refers to a 2016 tweet linked to part of her next book that includes songs by U2, The Cramberries, George Michael or Norah Jones. Another of the various suggestions comes from Miriam Belmonte, who says of the band Funambulista that "it's milk." But relaxed and mystical music appears again, and Pilar Arcana suggests Enya and Loreena Mckennitt. But classical music and slow themes are likely to dominate everything else. Maria Angelica Jasenza is inspired by Edvard Grieg, Rachmaninoff or Chopin. Alejandra Valle is inspired by the music of Abel Korzenowski, and Poetis Callejera by Beethoven's "Claro de Luna." The same tastes are shared by Silvia Valencia, who suggests Chopin and Mozart. Javi Writer points to Tears of a Day Dream for more melancholy works and Nocturne op.9 No.2 for more philosophical works. In short, the music that writers listen to depends on each person's tastes, but also, and very much, on the moment and the type of scene and the work being written. What is clear is that the music contains much of the writer's inspiration. You may find more interesting articles about writitng in the wowessays.com blog. Thanks for your attention to this article!
