June of Doom & Gloom - Week 2 discussion and etc. post

[huinare]

Welcome to the second week of this thing!

How is everyone doing? Discussion, writers' angst, other stuff? Put it in this thread!

Also, discussion topic: Do you have music you're using or plan to use as inspiration for your stories or mood music during your writing process? This question extends to anyone, whether you are participating in the challenge or no: What are some songs, or types of music, that get you in the right mood for writing sorrowful or doomful fiction (or making art of the same nature)? Links or lyrics welcome!

Given your hectic schedule, a paragraph while on vacation is laudable. Ah, music as a central theme? I'm intrigued!

Is there a music player on the Remy site you linked to? If so, my dear little laptop hasn't deciphered the coding for it. I'll go look for some of the tracks on youtube.

No, I put the link in to show which (of many different) Memento albums I was referring to. He's an amazing harpist with a very modern flair and some fabulous stuff. I hope you can find some examples of his music.

Ah okay, so many artists' sites have music samples these days that I thought maybe I was missing something. I just found this on youtube; not sure if there will be any overlap with that particular album's content, but I'm about to have a listen (if Ori will stop being in a snit about being asked to open the tab).

Here are a few more links for his music. He's really fun, the way he takes charge of the harp and makes it work both musically and with tonal dissonance.

Thanks! I like his style, really expressive. He's also attractive enough to cast me into a state of mild ire. =p
