Music for writing scenes

I don't know if this is the right forum for this topic, but i have been trying to create scenes in my recent works and something i found that really helps is music to listen to. I have some of my music set to certain situations, but i am looking for others might think would be fitting music for certain situations... below are some areas, let me know your thoughts?

DRAMATIC REVELATION

DEATH SCENE

FUNERAL

SPENDING THE DAY WITH A SPECIAL SOMEONE

SLOW DANCE MUSIC


Thanks

 

I listen to the band Opeth's mellower stuff like patterns in the ivy or still day beneath the sun.

 

I listen to music a lot when I'm writing. I tend to prefer softer songs that have no words in them. If I was writing an action scene, I could listen to something more fast-paced.

I don't know any particular song names, but look for something that will give you the same feeling as the one that is in the scene.

 

I like perfect silence when I'm fighting to get the words right. When cruising along though, I like some classic rock to keep my beat up.

 

Try Daniel Licht's Dexter Score and/or Donnie Darko OST. They are instrumental and suitable for writing some of the scenes you mentioned.

 

What are some of the instrumental music do you listen to, artist?

 

Soft music-
Classical music.
Christmas music.
'No Boat with Oars'.
(And my brother playing the piano - a lot.)

 

Game Music! Seriously, aren't they all written to fit a scene?

 

You can go to emule and download Ludovico Einaudi discography. It's instrumental piano, very dramatic.

 

ES Posthumus, Hans Zimmer soundtracks, and the instrumental version of Nightwish's "Dark Passion Play" are great for more dramatic/action-oriented scenes. I have other music but those are the ones without lyrics or singing.

Good music with lyrics/singing is Adiemus, Lesiem, Era, Globus, and Within Temptation. Also really good dramatic orchestration. I don't care for quiet peaceful music; I just tune it out, so what's the point in listening to it?

 

OMG!!! I just got done listening to some of ES Posthumus's music on the internet... i am blown away.

Great suggestion.

Currently trying to Download... i mean... acquire some of Ludovico Einaudi... though i cant wait for ES Posthumus and plan to go buy it now

 

I always listen to clint mansell's stuff when im writing my emotional or action scenes, it also helps because the scenes will be playing in my head like a movei already and the soundtrack makes it so much easier for me to imagine. i understand where you're coming from ABMiller since certain music puts you in a certain mood, it makes it easier to write certain scenes.

 

Stephen King listens to LOUD rock in roll while writing. I tend to listen to all sorts. Sometimes I select music that produces in me the feeling I wish to put into the scene. I find it better if I feel the way I want the scene to feel.
