Over the past years I have been able to have music as a large part of my life. It has not only influenced my design but my growth and personal views.
How many of you feel the same about music? Has it effected your life? Does it influence your design? Does it get you through the long nights of working endlessly? If so, what album or artist can you say has influenced you the most?
For me it would be BLACKSTAR. Mos Def & Talib Kweli. That album came out at the best point in my life and has influenced almost everything I have done. More then just giving me ideas for my work but it gives me a feeling inside that gets me all warm and fuzzy. That album explains how I feel about what I do. My wife, hip hop and art are my 3 passions. They seem to all come together with that 1 album.
Anyone else?

Absolutely. I've always liked more instrumental, emotive stuff like Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Tortoise, becuase with words you're gonna sing along and distract yourself.

Tortoise, absolutely

Andy Warhol by the Velvet Underground. Makes me want to stay up late and disconnect with the world.

If it wasn't for music I wouldn't be doing this at all. I was in a band before the design thing. Jim Marcus (T-26 and a million other things) produced my album, we became good friends, he was doing design work on the side and got me into it. I stopped the rock star thing and here I am. I listen to music from the minute i wake up to the minute i go to sleep.

Yeah, I think everyone is influenced by music. not some, EVERYONE.
I personally like kruder & dorfmaister, guardians of dalliance, thievery corp, boeing,FSOL and that kind of quiet music when im designing,
