Comment on Yog Sothoth by nightserpent
I find music to often have a profound effect, and it can greatly influence the way I work. Imagine how very serene or very aggressive music affects your mood, and then what kind of marks and designs you may come up with? I've often found that lyric-less music is vaster for creativity, as there aren't words to limit your imagination.
I often hunt for lyric-less music as well. Though sometimes, if the lyrics are abstract enough (Like feather-gun in the garden of the sun), it will work just as well.
Sometimes I have trouble hearing lyrics and end up with my own version, which in a way is just as effective because I am using my imagination to shape the concept of the song.
That's neat.
