I've only written a handful of times, but generally I like silence when I both write and read. I need my brain to completely live in that moment and music distracts from that. I can listen to classical at a low volume, but I usually prefer nothing at all. Brainstorming, however - be it for a story idea or vid concept idea and/or both I will listen to a mix of music that puts me in character mode.
With vidding - it is of course the song I'm vidding to on repeat until I'm sick of it. Sometime the music is based on the feel of the music vs. the lyrics, but generally I like music that is literal in it's lyrics. Simply because it makes it easier to build a "story" and not get lost in translation as they say. I often worry what I'm interpreting in my brain won't come across in a vid, so I feel literal lyrics help tell that story.
As for what pilots would listen to? I've been really hoping that it would be a DPP since I've been coming around here. I will have to come back this evening however to give my analysis of them and what/why I think they would listen to what they do.
ETA: Speaking of music that reminds me of pilots... I've made 3 K/L fanmixes + 1 Lee and 1 Kara mix. If anyone's interested (here (http://wand3rlust.livejournal.com/tag/fanmix)). They're all songs I relate to pilots. :)
