My favorite composer is Steve Jablonsky, you know, The Island, all 3 Transformers. Yeah, freaking inspiring. I also love Hans Zimmer, Patrick Doyle, Alexandre Desplat, Michael Giacchino, Danny Elfman, Carter Burwell, Two Steps From Hell, and Ramin Djawadi. <br /><br />Wow, yeah, that was nerdy. <br /><br />It bugs me to write without music. I can't get into the zone, you know? Sometimes, though, the music will stop and I won't notice for a while. <br /><br />So music is my kick-starter. <br /><br />-JacksonJackson Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908572442163818225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-60463269508335561702012-02-16T19:02:15.557-07:002012-02-16T19:02:15.557-07:00Music plays a huge role in my writing life.

The score I always go to when I need to write inspiring or romantic words is Shakespeare In Love. I tell you, I get so wound up emotionally with that score that the words just pour out! Currently I'm listening to The Dark Knight score for my latest WIP! It's the right music for the atmosphere I'm trying to create!<br /><br />Gosh!

It not only helps to ground me in the scene that I'm writing at the moment, but it also helps drown out all of the distractions that I might respond to otherwise, and it establishes mood even when I might not be feeling angry or sad. I find myself listening to the symphonic music that came with my copy of "The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword" most often right now.Jayrod P.

Pretty much anyone/thing produced by her I can write to. My other go to for writing is Enigma. Best background music ever.<br /><br />Otherwise I just listen to whatever I feel like, or nothing at all. I listen to music pretty much whenever I can (I'd be dead without it, I swear) so I also listen to a lot of music when I write. It can be anything, but I'm not a big soundtrack person. Pretty much the only soundtracks I have are from the Legend of Zelda.
