I alway listen to music while mapping, and while doing most things on the computer for that matter, but I don't have anything I listen to in particular for the task. I've a fairly mammoth sized music collection and obviously I listen to some stuff more than others, but I wouldn't say I have anything that is my mapping favourite. I tend to listen to punk (more the pop/rock side these days), ska, rock, and emo more than anything, though the odd wierdo Japanese music finds its way in there too <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I seem to end up listening to rock music a lot of times.

Right now I'm listening to a lot of distrubed. Believe FTW.

I listen to Pink Floyd when I'm on a role, and most anything when I'm out of ideas

Techno/Dance ftw baby.

I don't really map anymore, but there's one song that when I hear it triggers mapping and vice versa, and that's Scar Tissue by RHCP. For some reason, I don't know why.

I hardly ever listen to music while mapping. I'm not really a music freak, I'm much more stimulated by visuals. Things I see, things I read (and form an image of in my head)... music more often than not disturbs me when I'm being creative (except for the occasional humming I do when I'm thinking <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">).

i tend to not notice music when i'm tuned into mapping, and if i do notice it, it's because it's disturbing me. anything from the chili peppers to bach is cool for fragging, though.

Rammstein works well for me, including the weird dance remixes thereof.

Random stuff for me: Kelly Clarkson, Elliott Smith, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Shakira, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Eldar Djangirov - just whatever I like, no specific "level design" playlists. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

If/when I map, silence is not only required, but enforced. My house better be silent or I am pissed.

When I frag, I shut off every noise in the map I can. No music or anything. I want to hear every footstep. I tend to stalk most of my kills.

I find I enjoy watching (or listening) to movies while I map. Or listening to audio tapes/seminars/speeches whatever. it's a nice break from music now and then. i like having a story or timeline to go along with as i map instead of droning on.

Poison, Aerosmith, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Silverchair, Cranberries, The Ramones, one White Zombie song, Queen, Spinal Tap, AC/DC, some Metallica and Final Fantasy songs (got the whole set) to name a few, but the one that makes me think of mapping the most is the Tetris song by DJ Venom. Oh and also Safety Dance .

I never thought of listening to music while mapping <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">
Anyway, WillSmith's music rocks <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

This is interesting, because its what my dissertation is on my architecture degree- the proportional relationship on music and architecture. All about how music inspires architecture and creation, and how architecture can be made from music by subconciously drawing the glissando of the song.

Also about how music can be translated through its mathematics or score to create architectural forms. Try opening some tune in goldwave and look at its waveform- extracting sections can be used to create architecture.

Anyways, interesting. :P

Not really, Freeman. I mean it's not really strange. I came here with mapping problems when I first started, then I grew out of mapping, but still liked the community.

I listen to a lot of Alan Parsons Project when I'm mapping, along with some Aphex Twin or Pink Floyd. Occasionally Kraftwerk or Tool.
