What kind of things from the civil war?  The only songs I'm familiar with are When Johnny Comes Marching Home and The Battle Hymn of the Republic, both of which I like a lot but don't listen to them regularly or anything.

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" would definitely be my favorite, but here are some of the other ones:

"The Southern Wagon"
"We'll Fight for Uncle Sam"
"Southern Soldier"
"The Battle Cry of Freedom" (Famous one)
"To Arms in Dixie"
"The Irish Volunteer 11"
"The 97 Regimental Stringed Band"
"March of the Southern Men"
"The Iron Brigade"
"Sherman's March To The Sea"
"Marching Through Georgia"
"A bunch of others"

no more brickfilming *sad face*.

Haha, it's funny you say that since here in Czech Republic it's a very common name.

I usually listen to some classical music as well:

Marriage Of Figaro
On the Beautiful Blue Danube
The Barber Of Seville
Ode to Joy

And then I often listen to Daft Punk, which is really helpful when animating:

Giorgio By Moroder
Aerodynamic
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Revolution 909
Crescendolls
Voyager
Get Lucky

I like music by Queen, Daft Punk and any classical orchestra pieces.

Those are probably my favourites as well. I'll listen to pretty much anything, but I prefer music that is at least a decade old. And I like Daft Punk as well.

This is very interesting. It is one of the reasons I like Danny Elfman so much.

I was listening to this the other day.  At midnight.   On constant repeat.  While studying for a psychology exam.

I'm such a normal person... mini/shifty

Lately it's been 80s No-Wave bands such as Los Microwaves and Xex.

Lately I have been on a David Byrne and Brian Eno kick, but if I need to listen to music while animating to blot out background noise it's the album Wish You Were Here on repeat, or sometimes Animals.

Re: What music inspires you to Brickfilm?

I enjoy listening to music, but I find I'm mostly inspired by the sound of silence. When I'm thinking, anything I listen to gets phased out - so I usually just sit in silence whilst writing.

When actually animating, I need to have something on in the background otherwise I'll die of boredom.

I have been listening to lots of Kraftwerk albums whilst I animate recently.

Also, Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue.

No way, I'm not the only one who likes civil war songs? Okay, so I don't know the names of many, but I do like the genre, old-fashioned and full of fiddling! Based on the fact that you've heard "Marching Through Georgia" and "Sherman's March To The Sea", I trust you know about Sherman's campaign to take Atlanta and move on to Savannah. That is so weird, I just finished the script for- mini/no No, no, I promised myself I would keep that under wraps for now. You'll have to wait until July 22nd: ( http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … brickfilm/ ) to find out what that's about.

As for myself, I don't know the name of this song, but every time I hear it, I think of Nathan Wells and his incredible brick films, which makes me want to make incredible brick films as well. Also, it has a really triumphant rhythm to it.

Just for historical interest, check out my COMPLETE HISTORY OF RECORDED MUSIC PART 1 video.  If features recordings all the way back to Edison (and before).  It's on the only YouTube channel I didn't delete yet.
