I myself will often put lotr soundtracks on(I usually sit down for a while), but I also enjoy others. Forest Incantations by Alan Lee Silva is nice, as is Iditarod by Soon Hee Newbold. What do you all use?

I actually listen to old black and white TV, especially "Twilight Zone", "Playhouse 90" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" on YouTube, or I listen to recorded church talks, especially on Sundays. For the most part, there isn't much to actually watch in these old gems. Maybe everyone was blind in those days, because they tend to vocalize everything that is going on much more than modern shows.

This music is perfect for work and hobbies. sometimes I turn it on specifically to play at https://duckdice.io/lottery This at the same time calms me down and adjusts the focus on a particular job. Now a large number of podcasts on YouTube and you can create a good playlist. I never get tired of these tunes.

To my wife's dismay, I tend to feel better when painting with the Red Army Choirs singing about the glory of the Motherland and defeating the Fascists around.

You can't beat the Lotr soundtracks imo when painting Middle-earth

I'm a year late, but I like putting on podcasts when I paint. I'm a huge pro wrestling fan, so I'll usually listen to a wrestling interview or 5.

Synthwave and the likes, like Dynatron, Perturbator etc. gets me in the zone.

And yeah the LOTR score too from time to time.

Actually mostly in silence or with background noise from the TV - when my girlfriend watches a tennis match while i sit on the ktichen desk painting xD

Tired classical LOTR music but it really depends on my mood.
