The Gost and Mr Chicken is the soundtrack I listen to while shopping. I usually have all my groceries in the basket by the end of the main title. I’m a soundtrack fiend.

Maybe it just stimulates creativity in the right way. When I was growing up, I used to listen to records on end that I found in parent's collection and make little movies in my head to go with them. I still do this! One that I need track down was for a movie called "Viva Max!", that had a great Jack Davis cover and contained dialogue bits by Jonathan Winters. Soundtracks are the greatest.

And yes I know -- isn't Steven's music fantastic?!?! I'm trying to figure out if there's some way to package the prints of paintings with a CD. And I've already started the begging process to get him to do music for the next show.

This is gorgeous; it fits your paintings beautifully, but it stands alone, too. The sonata Beethoven heard inside his head when he was too far gone to write. I envy him his lusciously freaked-out piano, too. More, please - tell him the masses are clamoring. RE: Steven’s music – holy sh!t!

I write all my first drafts with headphones in my head, and soundtracks are the quickest way dead into the heart of whatever tone or emotion I'm trying to capture. When I was writing medieval vampire romance novels, my hard drive was full of sweeping epic stuff - Gladiator, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans, the 1988 version of Henry V, and all of the LOTR soundtracks. (Hearing the battle scene music from Gladiator can give me a nasty little thrill even now.) Zombelina her own self introduced me to a couple of compilation faves - William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, both volumes, and the soundtrack to the wonderfully creepy Lost Highway. Speaking of Baz Luhrmann, I'm also a huge fan of the Moulin Rouge! soundtracks, and speaking of Angelo Badalamenti, pretty much anything of his is inspiring - I particularly like The City of Lost Children. Vangelis' soundtrack for Blade Runner is classic, and some of the music John Williams did for Harry Potter 3: The Prisoner of Azkhaban, is surprisingly grown-up and interesting, with a lot of authentic medieval instruments instead of his usual orchestra. Right now, I'm deeply, intimately involved with the full soundtrack to Sweeney Todd, and I'm also going through a Danny Elfman phase - I love the original Batman music and the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack is beautiful and intensely emotional, too. Great topic - I could prattle on this one forever. I’m a soundtrack junkie, too .
