Music and Creativity - 2 1/2 minute video

We caught this video when curating our page on
Background music - how music can improve your life - and thought it was well worth posting on the blog.

It's 2 1/2 minutes long and looks at the work being done by Parag Chordia and the team at Georgia Tech into how music can impact pretty much every area of our lives - but in this case creativity.

A good playlist from music2work2 to stimulate creativity would be the Writers playlist

Nath Development - Piano Blues Clip

Currently developing a blues piano piece for Nath (that's her T-shirt design in the box up there on the right!)

I'm working at 57 beats per minute and beginning to get a feel for the tempo; theme hunting will start soon.

Paying members of music2work2 got the full 11 minute version of this piece as a bonus on the release of Coyote.

It’s a crazy information overload world – especially for those of us who live in front a screen. Where do you start: email, internet, tweetdeck, rss feed, facebook or the word document and spreadsheet that you’re supposed to be working on – the telephone rings, a colleague appears – the distractions are endless and procrastination could now be an Olympic sport.

I find that the right kind of music can be critical to me actually starting something and this piece is one of my favorites for that. It starts out so simple and clean, delicate piano, aching string melody – it actually calms me down and helps me decide where I want to focus. But there’s a change at around 10:00 minutes, the energy of the piece just picks up and whether I like it or not, I start typing – it’s great! If I’m lucky, the next time I look up is when the piece is nearing the end.

Written for Paul Ruffin, owner of ECI Networks, a fabulous bass player and all round good guy.
