Your creative ambiance/visual etc...

[Synthman2000]

just sprang to mind really, was thinking about the vibe you create in your music place. If any ? Maybe you like a cold hard place or a nice chilled out zone with mellow lighting and incense burning. In summer I tend not to do much, I have a few inspirational cd covers on the wall and a few Indian cloths and wall hangings to soften the cold white walls. In winter I sometiems put some more colourful lamps around and turn the normal light bulbs off just to add a little mellowness.

Do you have much in the way of mood making in your creative space and do you put much weight on its effects or could you easily do without any adornments in your music room ?

I've been making do. My studio consists of a corner desk in a small bedroom that's also shared with my spouse's desk, her big aquarium and some other junk, and it's where we spend most of our waking hours at home.

I try to keep it relatively organized at least, and all my frequently used gear within arm's reach. Other than that, the furniture and racks etc. are generally cheap and mismatched and not chosen for budget and practicality, rather than looks. I do have some dim and colored lights I can switch to when the main light is off, at least.

I wish it was more photogenic, but honestly, when I'm in the zone it really doesn't matter.

I don't, at all. My set "2017" was created in the public library. Which was quiet enough, with occasional exceptions. I'm driven to work on something in and of itself. Or I'm not.

hunched over in my bedroom under my loft bed with a fluorescent light.

very unromantic, i'm sorry.

maybe it reveals itself in the music i make though. buzzing and a little thick-and-heavy, sonically.

i have blank walls (beige) with two big eyes staring at me.

I think white walls would begin to bug me pretty quick. These are 'cream-colored' with a quasi-stucco texture.

When I moved in here 20 odd years ago I let my mother choose the paint colours. Even now when I go downstairs I sometimes wince at the marigold yellow walls... I tend to do a lot of recording in low light for some reason...

yikes

i don't really "see" the walls once im in the zone.
staring at flashing lights or pedals

i would like to make the walls look a little more interesting before i begin on video work. im thinking projection rather than coverings though so the lighter colour is fine.

my bedroom at the house you visited was orange and purple
we must have been tripping the day we chose those

I have a nice lamp, though. A modern sort of a deal, very adjustable from warm to cold sort of light. I don't like a lot of light, I'm photo-sensitive. Part of why a really white wall would be irritating. I think for general life a softened kind of groovy affect would be beneficial, but for working on music it may as well be in the dark, I'm staring at the screen. If I'm not working on music I'm watching a show on the same fugging screen. I remember being a teenager and caring about my little teenage room. No red bulb, though. Black light, definitely.

Oh, that library is actually pretty well-appointed and the desk was nice, expensive-looking wood. I think a shabbier library (like South Berkeley) wouldn't have been so great.

I painted my room purple when I was a kid, my dad and me turned the basement into a cool room and it was huge. (literally half the size of the one floor of the house). I painted it a dark purple, I had one of those big florescent lights in the ceiling with 4 4' black light bulbs in it and a bunch of black light posters on the walls. There is no question, I built very cool hidden cabinets in the walls that had bongs in them and I was doing acid and mescaline for two years before I tried weed
