Sharing a list of writing-related playlists, and a couple of soundtracks from games as a great alternative for background music for writing and work in general | MC #73
This was an interesting article Stygi, thanks! I’m not into gaming at all but will give these soundtracks a listen. The last time I played a game was Myst back in the late 90s or early 2000s and remember the music being excellent. The soundtrack is here: https://youtu.be/zboL71iRFBE?si=w8UvzJ_W8EIeSDAV
When it comes to focus music for me I generally tend to prefer some sort of instrumental music. Or music with singing in a foreign language. Having said that, when doing regular work that doesn’t require deep focus I tend to listen to just about anything
Thanks for the comment. I've never heard of this game before. Listening to the soundtrack right now. On this gray, rainy day, these mysterious, nostalgic synth sounds particularly resonate with me
This is so great, Stygi. A lot to go through here. I was just talking to a friend yesterday about video game music (and how much I would love to write video game music!) — so this is very timely! Thanks for all these great suggestions!
I'm stoked that it hit the right chords for you, Matt. Hehe nice timing! If you ever decide to dive into creating game tunes, I can't wait to hear about it. Your future game soundtrack is already on my "must-listen" list 🫶
Thanks for sharing these! I'm familiar with the Skyrim soundtrack, my husband Tom played it a lot a while ago. However, I haven't come across Rimworld yet, I'm gonna dive into its OST right away

I'm not much of a gamer, but I do enjoy new music suggestions...and Stygi always comes through!
