looks like most of them like classical

"I really like justin timberlakes new album"
ross lovegrove lost my respect with that one, not that i'm anybody...

Maya Lin:

-The Blow (I recommend the track "Hey Boy")
-Leslie Feist.
-The Garden State Soundtrack

no idea - when i first went into michael hays' office (umpteen years ago), he had g-love and special sauce thumping the walls. (and they were just a 'local' band at that point).

steven holl likes bela bartok (or used to).

karim rashid always seems to have some kind of house club mix going in his place.

anyone else?

Why care?

cuz we are architecture over dosed
everything about architecture...architects
WE WANNA KNOW!!

ugh...we don't listen to music...rather we curate sound environments and if you don't understand that then i suggest you exercise extreme caution upon entering...

and as of this moment, i'm listening to patrick watson's close to paradise to be followed up by a moodgadget compilation titled expanse at low levels

one i know of likes classical, but i can't mention their name cause i might get sued-anyway, i like to listen to new age (Robert Rich's Gaudi in particular) when i do my design.

puddles you ain't famous!

that said, i am streaming vermont public radio's classical station, which just played some john dowland.

a lot of PJ Harvery and REM at TWBTA

Archi-tectonics (Winka Dubbeldam) has links to DJ Shadow, Prefuse 73, and Warp Records on their site... couldn't confirm if they're listening to squarepusher during client meetings tho

ASK MTHEORY....he may have the answer.

REM? really? awful.

now squarepusher i could do.

since you all want to know what kind of musac i listen to, i thought i'd share this with you which i am enjoying right now

i listen to Philip Glass.

squarepusher = brilliant. I'm told to turn it off when I play it out loud at work though...

holz.box, i'm flabberghasted. i don't know if i can live in a world where REM can be considered less than brilliant!

I thought "curating the sound environment" was what you did when deciding what should be playing when a chick shows up at your apartment.

The closest thing to a star architect I worked with played house music - this was in the early 90s - and toyed with having porn videos playing silently in the background, but knew that this wouldn't fly in a mixed-gender office.

mars volta?

aw c'mon, lb. weren't the porn videos mixed gender?

Usually its jazz via yahoo music or xm radio, sometimes its just things I have on my laptop - its mellow stuff usually.

I save the funky music for later in the day

Steven Holl used to play really difficult contemporary classical music (Schonberg, Webern, that kind of thing) very early in the morning.

Yes, they were, Steven, but this *was* pre-Moulin Rouge/Lady Marmalade.

In my office it's a lot of Cake.

aux 88

I've always wondered the same thing. Personally, I love minimalism, especially Glass and Reich (I'm listing to "Music for 18 Musicians" now). Although, I'm not even a practising architct, never mind a famus architect, so I don't really have an answerfor you.

famous architect do not need to listen period.
