Good Music for Photo Editing

[david_intrator]

<p>A bunch of photographers I know have gotten into this, and use it as a soundtrack when they're editing.<br>

<p>A couple a days ago pulled the trigger on Amazon mp3 album of Capitol Records 2010 remaster of Les Baxter's "Ritual Of The Savage", the birth of Exotica lounge music. A 1952 recording using micing technique and technology that was ahead of its time at least from what I can hear. YouTube versions recorded off vinyl does not do it justice.</p>

<p>Play the CDr in the next room while editing images and it sounds like a live performance. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NL7WOK/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1</p>

<p>Start out with "Jungle River Boat" with decent headphones. It's a trip especially for music recorded in 1952. I'm just discovering this music for the first time.</p>

<p>Prefer Esquivel to Baxter.</p>

<p>Enjoying the soundtrack to the first season of BBC's "Peaky Blinders." Killer series.</p>

<p>I bought this CD of Esquivel from listening to this YouTube of "Snow Fall"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4SlbKF-t10</p>

<p>The Baxter album I posted on is the only one I like because of the melodies which are quite cinematic and different from Esquivel. But yeah, Esquivel is in a league all to himself. </p>

<p>Classical music in general, and especially Bach for photo editing.</p>

<p>The Fugs.</p>

<p>Barry, although I remember The Fugs well (a/k/a The Village Fugs), I'm not sure I'd want to work on photographs while playing their music. It would be way too distracting.</p>

<p>My own preference would be an acoustic jazz piano trio - Monk, Peterson, Corea, et. al.</p>

<p>Hole, Diamanda Galas, Deltron 3030.</p>

<p>What could be more soothing than "Ima coming down" or Skin flowers?? :)</p>
