I find that it pushes the world back and pulls my creative self out. That said - my mp3 - as I've told Elizabeth has changed my life. I mean, where else can you put 1000 of your favorite songs in your front pocket? You can put playlists in it for ever occasion and mood. That said - I would say that I mostly play it at radom and if the song doesn't fit - I click next. Christian Rock/Praise though usually fits mornings - dance hip/hop gets me through mid afternoons. I've been known to put a novel on it for when I'm sleepy or bored and need to stay awake.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-52036819978304981022010-01-19T11:17:35.324-08:002010-01-19T11:17:35.324-08:00Well said!

So I tend to turn on KUSC (a classical radio station) and listen to whatever is playing. If that doesn't work I go down and chose a CD which talks to me at that moment....usually something written around the turn of the century or later. I had not thought of different music for different phases of the design process, but it makes wonderful sense.California Fiber artist and composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438651763194053429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-53746604440237488312010-01-06T09:49:08.515-08:002010-01-06T09:49:08.515-08:00I hadn't realised that I had different music f...I hadn't realised that I had different music for different stages but you're quite right:<br /><br />Inspiration = Eric Clapton, Queen, Rod Stewart (I am my age!)<br /><br />The zone - Vivaldi, Handel and very recently Göran Söllscher baroque guitar<br /><br />Construction - the radio, tuned into a mix of oldies<br /><br />We can't get Pandora in the uk but I do use Spotify to 'collect' oldies!Linda B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05490436237080230938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-59455309876824289942010-01-06T08:30:12.122-08:002010-01-06T08:30:12.122-08:00sometimes Al Green, sts.

It's free up to a certain number of hours per month. I've opted to pay the yearly low fee so I can listen all day long to music that suits my mood/needs and that I like.<br /><br />I've recently discovered zydeco music. I like the fast, steady, and lively beat of that genre for machine quilting. Otherwise, piano concertos are a pleasant background for general sewing.<br /><br />Dave Brubeck and Sting are on my list along with Il Divo, Eva Casady, and Liz Wright.<br /><br />When there are times I need to concentrate I like instrumental music ... violins and piano being my favorite.Nellie's Needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468773469685787840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-87359509616448029202010-01-04T10:52:33.225-08:002010-01-04T10:52:33.225-08:00Because I haven't divided my music into types...Because I haven't divided my music into types, I sometimes just have no music. Particularly when I'm solving a problem, I need no interruptions in my train of thought. I have one huge mix of music that plays randomly and most of the time is great, but I'll investigate breaking it into sections. Great idea, thanks!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730298448632087144noreply@blogger.com
