Hello. Joni Mitchell, especially the album "Ladies of the Canyon" gets my gears turning every time. So does Tori Amos' "Scarlet's Walk" and "Beekeeper."
Neil Young, Sting, and Loreena McKennitt are good ones too. |

Hello, There's an album that I listen to quite often, it's 'Devotion', by Aaron Neville. It seems to deal with his life before and after his conversion to Christianity, and listening to it , you can feel his emotions throughout.I've always enjoyed his voice, but but this is truely touching. Enjoy.

| it depends upon what I'm working on. Sometimes I just need quiet cello or violin music in the background.
My recent favourite is
Alehandro Escovedo's "Book of Songs". Saw him live a few weeks ago and he simply knocked my socks off. He's got a completly unique sound and I've heard few musicians blend such emotion and originality into their music. Awesome stuff. |

if you like celtic or world music...then try MacRimmons Revenge..the Ransom.It is a great mix of lowland bagpipes, cello, digerdoo, bodhran, tin whistle, flute, banjo, guitar and other instuments...I think several types of drums. They also have a second album out and are promoting it on their website. It too is very creative and inspiring.

I always listen to music when I work, it depends on what I'm painting as to what kind of music Iwant, if you like soft jazz try Diana Krall

| I have found that listening to Loreena McKennitt's music has put me in the 'zone' when painting. At times I will also listen to other music, but her music seems to lead me to what I want to accomplish in my paintings. |

| I'm a songwriter and a painter so I'm usually doing both at the same time. My PC is next to my drawing table and I switch back and forth because I find that one media inspires the other. If I just want to listen to music while I'm working it's either The Band, Dylan or Townes Van Zandt |

as you see my avator you can who inspire me.
The greatest Rolling Stones.
I couldn't draw for several years and only after being on the concert of the RL in St. Petersburg this summer i've started to draw like a mashine. I'm so happy i can do it again. Besides my style has changed a lot.
This is the real proof of the music power on our minds.
their several songs: paint it black, miss you, angie, best of burden, do do do heartbreaker |

I listen to lots of music. But one of my favorites is Kirk Franklin. Most of the time it is anything with a awesome BEAT.

| Most of my creativity is done under the influence of Sting; I can accomplish great things when he's playing. When I'm at a stage when I can work and not have to think and concentrate too much, I put on Rod Stewart's American Classic series and sing along; they take me back in time. Then there are days when Nora Jones, Josh Grobin and Andrea Bocelli are played back-to-back. |

The music that I listen to always depends on the mood I am in at the moment. Lately while working I've been listening a lot to Keiko Matsui - she plays piano beautifully, and when I am in a wild mood - I recommend Kamelot - very powerful sound!
I was very amused this week at the opening of my second exhibition, when I met this old painter and he recommended Wagner as a background for my art making... Obviously more drama needed.. |

Sometimes I listen to Jazz, Latin Jazz, & Classical music, but usually, & as weird as this may sound, I listen mostly to taped lectures of the various Art History courses I took as an undergraduate at New Jersey City University (with the very insightful & humorous Dr. Jose Rodeiro). For some reason, this relaxes me & throughout my drawing or painting sessions, I'll burst out laughing at one of the jokes that the professor has said about an artist or their situation. It also functions as a constant reminder of different artists throughout the different historical periods of art -Alfredo Gomez Jr.
