MUSIC I AM LISTENING TO WHILE READING
When I get to a music store, I find that I am rarely in the mood to listen and pick. So I am lucky to have someone at my favorite store, Discurio, who has been keeping track of my likes and dislikes and my desire to find something different.
So from my last batch:
Gypsy Caravan: This one is probably not for everyone. But it works for me because I've got tired of the same-old style.
Mavis Staples - We'll Never Turn Back, produced Ry Cooder
I wouldn't have got this except that Max at the shop told me to listen to it at least 5 times and then bring it back if it didn't grown on me. Needless to say, I'm not taking it back. A resonance with the time I spent in New Orleans with Pia.
Eleni Mandell - Miracle of Five
Romantic numbers that I thought might be great for creating mood while thinking of writing. Again, I buy music in different ways to how I'd buy if I wasn't slotting it in around my work.
Arvo Part's Alina
This one is classical music intended specifically for writing and reading. Non-intrusive and lovely.

I am not sure of this. But I've had it playing a few times and it's been a nice contrast to rest of the music choices.
Recently, I've been looking at various images and thinking story structure. I've thought of this before. But in the last week, I've felt like I could do it--create texture and color and shape somehow. Composition! Don't know how music fits in but maybe it does.
