Message: <blockquote data-quote="Berandor" data-source="post: 1867286" data-attributes="member: 225">I have a large collection of soundtracks that I choose very specifically. I'd rather have only one great music piece to fit a situation than several well-fitting ones. I compiled 3 CDs for my CD changer, one with "creepy" music seperated into subsections like Rituals, Dungeons, etc., the second with heroic music for Battle, Triumph, etc., and the third with various ambient music for special occasions.Normally, I don't use mujsic with lyrics or contemporary music. However, for the Dungeon Adventure Path I'm currently DMing, I have compiled a soundtrack for the module, giving specific events their own music, and included modern sounds (for example, when set upon by a thieve's guild, I played "Invisible Man" by Queen - the thieves  are made up like actors and call themselves "Last Laugh", and I wanted to use "I'm going slightly mad" but that was not fast enough).What I do before choosing music is consciously listening to music for the effect it has on me and the atmosphere it creates.A good piece of music can enhance the role-playing experience alsmost as much as a bad piece can ruin it.BTW, if you are looking for a lot of great movie scores, I can only urge you to try Erich Kunzel's Cincinatti Pop Orchestra. They play movie scores on a full orchestral ensemble - it's great!</blockquote>
