Hey all,

I was tinkering with my small assortment of elements in my bot factory earlier,
and I realized it was quiet.  So much so that it was deafening.  Maybe I'm
wrong, but I doubt many of us build with nothing else going on.

After thinking about it for awhile, I decided that for me, what I'm building
dictates what I'm doing.  If I'm doing some castle stuff, I'm probably listening
to some orchestral melody or muttering along with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
When I'm in a spacey mood, it's Linkin Park or The Matrix.  Etcetera.

So...what else do you do when you build?

-Chris

(...) I can usually only do one thing at a time. When I build, I just build. I rarely put music on, although this is partly due to the fact that the rest of the family is asleep. I find that building consumes my attention completely and I hardly (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) The theme I'm building to really doesn't dictate my music preferences, though. When I'm working with a design, or writing out my ideas, I usually do so to the beat of classical music, jazz and occasionally techno or hip-hop. (Which is the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.general, FTX)
  Re: What else do you do when you build?
 
Even if I did put some music on, it would quickly fade to white noise once my hands touch bricks. The world disappears and my sensation of time greatly distorted. I actually sweat rather heavily if I'm in the middle of a stimulating project (aren't (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)

I listen to a local country station, or I watch History Channel (especially when I'm building weaponry of some sort :^) ). I find that the music lets me focus. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Everything. Usually it's just TV/movies, but sometimes it's supplemented by internet/e-mail (yes, I do sometimes surf the internet while building, and I've even ). Rarely I'll just listen to music, and even more rarely I'll chat on the phone. (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)

With the Lego in the attic, in a room without TV or computer there really isn't much else to do but put on some music. Genre usually depends on my mood and the time of day -or rather night. Could be Mahler, Madness, Metallica... Duq "Xcalabur" (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.general)
