I know a lot of people like background music, atmospheric effects, etc. but I have never found them that useful and more often than not distracting. I would prefer silence other than the actual game play. My very vocal cat included.
Well, so do I, to be honest, but...
I very often look at my games and adventures from the view point of, "if this were a fantasy action-adventure blockbuster movie." In that sense, when I'm DMing, while I don't actually have music playing, I've still got tunes running through the back of my mind like a soundtrack... It helps keep me in the proper mood for what ever scene I'm describing.
So, just change the question... If your campaign were a movie (or miniseries, or television series) with an unlimited budget, who would be doing the nmusic for the soundtrack?
