Music Drives the Flow
by Fred LeBlanc - January 18, 2006 / 12:09pm View more articles
A general day at iMarc will consist of me having my headphones on for six or seven hours of the standard nine-hour day. I can't stand listening to all the litle clinks and clacks in the room around me, it drives into my brains like screws, slowly twisting... driving me insane.
Click, clack, the screws tighten...
The remedy is music. Anything that will disconnect me from the perpetual ticking of the world's natural clock: business. Without it I lose focus. I'm lost.
That being said, a friend of mine and I have always thought that A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms album was one of the ultimate 'creativity inspiring' albums. I still find that to be true today, but I've recently added a bit more to the playlist that fuels complete shifts each day.
What's in the Shuffle (An Incomplete List)
A Tribe Called Quest, Midnight Marauders
Flyleaf, Flyleaf
The Mars Volta, Deloused In the Comatorium/Frances the Mute
System of a Down, Mezmerize/Hypnotize
A Perfect Circle, Thirteenth Step
Martin Denny, The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny
Radiohead, Kid A/OK Computer/The Bends
Tool, Opiate/Ænema/Lateralus
Puscifer, Both Songs off of the Underworld Soundtracks
Of course, it's different for everyone.
That's why I use my headphones.
What's inspiring you?
