Basically looking for the kind of tracks that can get you lost in your own mind. Tracks that you can set on loop and a half hour later you never realized where the end was. I find it useful when I work on my writing and I'd be appreciative if anyone could help me find more stuff :) I don't care what they're from (ie games, movies, tv).


Here are some examples of what I can think of at the moment that I've used before, but they're not exactly what I want but something like it.

上妻宏光　Agatsuma - A paper in the air from Beyond (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ec35duqxWsg)

YouTube - ‪Cowboy Bebop OST 1 - Space Lion‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKnVaDwUg5s)

Or stuff like the music from the Monster series ost
YouTube - ‪MONSTER soundtrack - ''Angel Hand''‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ir6_8HRfA8)

I'll take a shot here. What about "China Gates" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0JFg0xlF0) by John Adams? Is that sorta what you're looking for?

Hi Arthur ^___^ It's nice but doesn't quite suit my style. Here's some other things that we've been pondering in the STS thread...

My style is kind of complicated.... It varies for whatever I'm writing But for the project I've been working on for the past few years, I usually sit in the dark and listen to something that I can feel strange to...... Hard to explain but the story I'm writing kind of calls for the trip factor when I type it out. Well I do that for the dark parts of the story. I still have yet to figure the majority of details and characters, but I know major plot points I want.


So basically things like these...
YouTube - ‪Zen Garden - Tangerine Dream - Datenverarbeiter Video‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0xEI3pJahA)
YouTube - ‪Descent 2 Soundtrack - Redbook Audio Track 10‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WQvivND6Ck)
YouTube - ‪Silent Hill 2 OST - Overdose Delusion‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxrDCLrd89w)
YouTube - ‪"For You" - Michael Whalen‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd75q34wGuo)

Stuff kind of along those lines. Something that I can feel strange to.

Maybe any of these tracks have the style you need.

Here's an M3U playlist of all the ambient/minimalist/gay hippie new age stations I listen to; http://doctormowinckel.com/boogers/minimalist.m3u Sounds like they play exactly what you're after.

Drone Zone, Nirvana Meditation Radio, Cryosleep and Dark Ambient Radio are the best offerings.

I'll give this a try :)

Maybe you found something of interessting Songs and Themes here: Thread 90508
I started this and i am using a lot of songs when i am writing Fan Fictions. Hope that can be help Chocolate Misu :)

Example Song how in the Thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O7-wLU9M9E&feature=channel_video_title

Steve Roach has some great drone stuff; YouTube - ‪Steve Roach - Structures From Silence (excerpt) Get to Sleep Quick! Relaxation, Stress-Free Music‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8siLR1jltM)

Brian Eno is the biggest pioneer of procedural music; YouTube - ‪Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UDA_bAlu00)

Liquid Mind has good stuff to tune out to; YouTube - ‪Liquid Mind - Night Light‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5VzYAPBVJc)

Darshan Ambient makes for good passive listening; YouTube - ‪Darshan Ambient - The Furniture of Time‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO57kruiZ0o)

If you want something a bit more abrasive, Between Interval is a really good choice for dark ambient; YouTube - ‪Between Interval, Field And Void‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASlXewFyT08)

And if you're a crazy person, Iridials and numbers stations make for good background noise;
YouTube - ‪The Wall / Conet Project - Numbers Station‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVqaoxxsN7Q)
YouTube - ‪The Conet Project - Cherry Ripe Iridial‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcJK56Ep5Rw)
YouTube - ‪The Backwards Music Station (Number Station)‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgF9ZlI_R-8)

You can download a bunch of Iridal and number stations recordings via The Conet Project; Irdial-Discs A212 Version 2 (http://irdial.hyperreal.org/) (lots of links there, do a Ctrl+F for The Conet Project, there are links to the right of it listed 'CD1', 'CD2', etcetera, click those and I'm sure you can figure out the rest).

I listen to a lot of ambient and minimalist music. The radio stations I linked you to are good outlets, and the artists I've linked in this post are really good examples of their genres, too.

I haven't forgotten, in case you're wondering.

I'm slowly compiling some tracks to help me with my writing, so I'll share when it's done in a week or less. From what I've heard that you liked, it's fairly similar. :)

Oh that's fine Cuckoo :) I'm in no rush at all.

Nice to see Brian Eno mentioned. I personally like Cocteau Twins very much... There's a lot of ethereal music on their label, 4AD, as well!

What kind of writings are you doing? It always helps me when I match my work with music that would connect with it. I've been listening to Kammarheit with my project I'm working on.
