Yzabel / July 19, 2005

Silmy having slowly but irremediably contaminated my mind with the idea of a radio blog, I’ve given in, and installed one here.Yza’s playlist:(That I consider a little like a “writing playlist”: these songs tend to boost my inspiration, depending on the type of scene I need to work on.)

• Kitaro/David Foster/Sedaka Dara — Angel Queen: A collector, since it is the end credits song of the Sennen Jou movie, otherwise known as Princesse Millenium or Queen Millenia.
• Concrete Blonde — Bloodletting (The Vampire’s Song)
• Kajiura Yuki — Chloe (Noir OST): Eerie enough to inspire me whenever I need to write a scene about Ka’Ellan.
• John Williams — Duel of the Fates: I didn’t like Episode I. It doesn’t prevent me from thinking that this music goes well with fight/duel scenes.
• Voltaire — Ex Lover’s Lover
• Hirasawa Susumu — Forces (Berserk OST): Works well for one of my warrior-types characters
• Blackmore’s Night — Ghost of a Rose
• Within Temptation — Jillian (I’d Give My Heart)
• Theatre of Tragedy — Liquid Man
• City Hunter OST — Nina: From the City Hunter movie Ai to Shukumei no Magnum. Always makes me think of Kheril.
• Kanno Yoko — Sôra: From the Escaflowne movie. In fact, it will always remain Tanaquil’s song for me
• Sol Invictus — The Killing Tide
• Pendragon — The King of the Castle
• Type O Negative — Wolf Moon: One always need her dose of Type O (and October Rust remains a very good album).
• Dead Can Dance — Xavier: A song I had wanted to have for a very long time (while somehow knowing – intuition? – that it was by DCD, even though I didn’t know this band at the time). This one has haunted me for years.

A somewhat eclectic playlist, which corresponds well enough to my own global approach to music. As for the radio blog itself, sorry for using a reduced version: I simply didn’t want to destroy my theme.The radio will remain online… until my bandwidth dies. * crosses fingers *
