RE: What music do you stim to?
I have to be careful with music, because it moves me so much that I often can't concentrate on anything else. Of course, that's probably something you can all relate to. The thing is, I can feel not only pulse in my body but also the tones, so anything that covers a broad spectrum of notes from low to high is highly stimulating. Really good piano or choral music can take me away from anything, especially if it goes from loud to soft a good bit. Sometimes, orchestral music or music with too deep bass or too high treble is too much, so I really have to be in the mood to rock out to listen to it, but when I am in the mood, I love old hard rock/heavy metal, AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Black Sabbath. But I also love things that I can sing/play along with, so Indigo Girls can really get me going. And I also sing opera (less lately), so singing along with Renee Fleming or any of the older great divas, Sutherland, or any of the old blues singers, like Nina Simone (personal fave), or Janis Joplin. And probably just because I know all the words from when I was a kid, most Beatles songs. And sometimes, if I'm really tense and having a hard time, like if I'm driving, I'll just sing children's lullabies to myself, songs that have lots of monotonous words and don't cover a large range, just to soothe and take just enough concentration to take the edge off. Things like Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
