yappystudent Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 What music do you listen to (if you're able to) when you work with clay? For my part it's usually the new age genre. I make my own mix tapes when possible when I can catch a radio show, but since there don't seem to be any around since I moved, and I get sick of my vast collection of cassettes, these days I mostly type an artist into Youtube and let it roll with minor adjustments. Here's a link I use repeatedly for Brian Eno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPOLT2veHNE&list=RDWPOLT2veHNE&t=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Fireborn Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I usually listen to a bit of techno or trance music with very little words. However lately I have been listening to Fantastic Negrito. You have to really be in the mood to make the pots that you make with this stuff playing. It definitely alters the forms you make if you really let it get to you. https://youtu.be/PH-G8vBpG9o https://youtu.be/3B4FSeeXUaE just a bonus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ws-GZVAj20 - no one knows who wrote this though.

dhPotter Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Fantastic Negrito plays a good bit on BluesVille on Sirius/XM. BluesVille is my goto channel. But when throwing or glazing, same as Joseph F, I like listening to the techno or trance, which is Electric Area on Sirius/XM - they really get cranked up on Friday nights.

tomhumf Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I like BBC radio 6. It plays some really unusual stuff unlike any other radio station. But sometimes it gets too wierd even for me and I have to switch to radio 2 for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Beller Diesel Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 CKUA has an Internet live feed if you’re looking for something you probably haven’t heard before. As far as individual artists go, I’m on a Coleman Hell kick. Its getting me through a bunch of writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pres Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hmm, I have hearing aids, and usually use a TV for company in the studio. It is turned up to 99, and I still really can't hear it all that well, but it is the combination of sight and sound that keeps me company, and the fact that most of the shows are old friends. However, recently, I got new hearing aids with custom ear pieces, and they are rechargeable, so that means they are pretty much dust free (the old ones would get built up dust on inside filters). So maybe I'll listen to some music in the future, I can always turn to the tv music channels. best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Birds, wind sheep way distant but must say my hearing switches off when working so much so that I get shocked when my partner materializes from the gloom of his side of the she'. Gloom is my interpretation of his v. Neat side:_))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoT Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 My boom box has been with me for about 20 years and has clay all over it. Late at night it is whatever clear channel stations I can pick up. During the day, it depends if I can find the classic rock FM station or an AM talk station. Sometimes I just want to be quiet.

neilestrick Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I listen to a wide variety of music while working at the wheel. Lately it's been a lot of First Aid Kit. But when I just need to crank out a bunch of pots for an hour, nothing beats Paul Simon's Graceland. It's old school, and it's the prefect energy level for throwing.

PSC Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Native american wood flute music played via my ipad. I prefer something without words and the wood flutes lets me hear the clay sing tho some days it merely mumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam U. Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Your music selection makes mine feel a little juvenile -- I normally listen to AC/DC and a whole bunch of other rock music. But lately, I've only been listening to a Portuguese language podcast since I'm trying to learn the language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabby Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 When I was young I listened to music, 60s sort of music mostly, as a backdrop for almost any work I was doing. In the last few years I have wanted only ambient sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Studio/bike shop/workshop is rather a mess; so many projects to work on this year - shelves, shelves, racks, organize, paint, clean... s-can, donate, give away mountains of stuff - however, priority project, surround sound, completed! Local public radio (now'm retired, get to hear daytime shows! ...Morning Cup, Democracy Now, TED, On Being, Fresh Air, All Things, Hidden Brain, etc. ), all tracks on my mp3 player, rock, blues, folk... Gilbert&Sullivan, Alison Krauss, Leo Kottke, Milk Carton Kids ...Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Steppenwolf, Howlin' Wolf, yeeeees, I'm older than (most of) you. Ahem, at the local JC, enjoyed Pandora Bob Marley and Acoustic Blues stations enough that I'll (eventually) make a place t'park a stream source in the studio. Yappy (Ann) come back!! You are missed, hope 2019 is good to and for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullins Pottery Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's a funny questions because I like to listen to a wide variety of music from Stevie Wonder to Ed Sheeran and Johnny Cash. But when I'm in the studio it's either bluegrass via my Sara Jarosz Pandora station or Traditional Hawaiian music via my Keali'i Reichel Pandora station. I don't know why but to me bluegrass and pottery just makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrim8 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Sadly these days- not music! Podcasts : Marketplace, Planet Money, the Indicator, Science Friday, ...(sometimes Fresh Air ) If I do put on music its usually heavily tilted towards Oscar Peterson, then Deadmau5, Dyalla, Eddie Harris & Les McCann, Herbie Hancock, Moby, Thelonius Monk, The Byrds, Eric Burden & the Animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhPotter Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 From SirusXm - Bluesville, JamOn and when glazing Diplo's Revolution. From the mp3 player - Jimi Hendrix, Allman Brothers, Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitchmss Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I have an itunes playlist which has got something like 20,000 songs on it. Everything from classical to death metal. It goes on shuffle in the morning, and some days I dont touch it. Sometimes Ill hear a song or an artist which hits my mood just right and Ill play more of it. It usually freaks the hell out of people in my studio when it goes from Cat Stevens singing sweet folk music, to something that is barely understandable as a singular word and more of a guttural scream. Also freaks them out when I burst into singing, or an impromptu dance party....generally in between carrying pots to and fro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
