Use of Music

<< < (2/2)

meg_evonne:
When we use music as a background to a radio ad for theater---we pay for a membership so it's legal.  Pretty sure the music companies could come after you if the book became common knowledge out there.

Uilos:
Ok, the next part of my question is this:

Does music have any influence in the things you write, or how you write?

CrazyGerbilLady:
It's not unusual for what I write to be inspired either by music or a video.  I have a short story in progress directly inspired by a rock video ...

ihatepeas:
Nothing of mine has sprung directly from music, but I find it very helpful when I write. It blocks out other noise, and when I find something with a mix of fast and slow songs, intense and light, it's good background. I've taken to burning CDs for every novel, sort of like a soundtrack. Thinking about the kinds of music my characters would listen to, or the songs that might describe them, gets me a little deeper into their heads, and that's always a good thing.
