Mood music

[NYTomcat]

As I am preparing for palm springs I realized I had to update my iPod for a long vacation. I also realized it was time to update my mood music. Any new suggestion.

 

I know dangerous Muse is getting added. I want it all.

[josephga]

Only time I ever really listen to music is during the 4 mile walk i take each day. I use to play it for massage clients as away of knowing when the hour was up without looking at a clock, i had music for 1 hr or music for 90 minutes. I don't like music or the tv on when having sex I find it to distracting.

AS we all know, Music can be a strong aphrodisiac and a powerful companion to any romantic/sexual encounter. I know a great many of us from the posts and reviews put a lot of time and effort into making our encounters, and staging them just right. Given this, I certainly would like some input in creating the perfect list of music for just such an encounter. Obviously music is different for every person and situation but I’d like to see if we couldn’t break it down into a few categories and see what an eclectic list we might create. Such as

 

Seduction: Foreplay: Main Act: Afterglow: & Specialty:

 

 

I think these categories are self explanatory with the exception of the catch all Specialty for those that perhaps have particular tastes they would like to hear represented. Please don’t limit yourself, classical to jazz, pop to broadway, new age to rap, all genres and styles are wanted. Let me be the first to add a few to what I hope will be a growing list: I really would like your suggestions, I know I’m missing thousands of perfect songs for the occasion, I just give the attached start as an example. Id love to hear your favorite get in, & enjoy the mood music. Escorts please chime in, what works best for you is always important to us.

The soundtrack that works for me is Cirque du Soleil's score for Saltimbanco - their 3rd touring show.

Here's a sample.

Thanks for sharing this from Cirque du Soleil's Saltimbanco. I would not be able to use that music as background, as my mind would be flooded with the images of those two hunky guys doing the gymnastics in their green tights. And speaking of green tights, did you notice the enormous buldges, especially when the light hits them just right? WOW... they have well developed muscles all over!!!!! I saw this show live, and now I will have even fonder memories of this incredible presentation of strength, agility and muscular coordination and balance. I know that was not the purpose of this thread, but I just could not help but comment on this beautiful display of two HOT guys.

GREAT THREAD!!!

As a musician,music dictates almost ALL of what I do...and certainly influences my escorting life as well.

With the invention of the Ipod it's now so easy to not only "take the show on the road" with me for overnight calls (I have a dock for my Ipod that travels with me in my "gear/trick bag", & find that most of the better hotels have them as well)..but to also customize playlists for my regular clients who I know very well..each one as individual as the man it's made for.

My "standard" playlist includes several Ambient mixes (real DEEP, slow, sensual mixes), remixed trance versions of Billie Holiday ("Don't Explain", & several Motown standards mixed to a slow trance as well).

For my more "hard core" sessions:

Nine Inch Nails "Closer" (can't go wrong with a line like "I want to fuck you like an animal, set to an electronic/rock beat).

Janet Jackson: "Rope Burn"

Johnny Hazzard: "Deeper Into You"

Being that this IS Vegas, I have the "Zumanity" soundtrack in my arsenal as well....very seductive, with lots of climaxes...GREAT for post orgasmic fun!

I actually have one regular who ends every email & phone call reminding me NOT to forget the Ipod!

[leigh.bess.toad]

Well one just off the top of my head and it can go in foreplay, main act or afterglow would be the 18th variation on a theme of paganini by Rachmaninoff -- the most famous of the 24 variations. The sweep, the ebb and flow of the music, building to the climax and the calm quiet ending. That variation is a microcosm of the whole piece which i love but it is one of the most romantic of all the piano "concerti"

 

 

Not a great recording but you get the idea.

[Diverdan]

HEY Lee,

Thanks for sharing this. It is one of my favorites and I love it, but it is only 3 minutes long...and I need something for at least 10-15 minutes !!!!!

I love it.... share more from it cause I bring mine with me to every hire... dock too. And of course Billy Holiday, Closer and Deeper into you are standards on it already.

I love the rachmaninoff. Its so much more sexual and romantic than Bolero though I do love it as well.... Still I think the Rodrigo just takes the cake

It's available on iTunes (and on Amazon.com) for those times when you (or someone you know) needs a smile.

 

Music trivia moment: The composer, David Rose, was once married to Judy Garland. And before that he was married to actress Martha Raye. It is unknown whether either marriage had anything to do with the composition.

Yes, it's only 3 minutes but I'm sure some of the others listed were not much if any longer as well. What makes it different than the others that are short is that, to me, it encompasses the entire range of sections TC has in that 3 minutes: seduction, foreplay, main act and afterglow -- remarkable in such a short piece. What I love about it most, is the sweep of emotions during those brief 3 minutes, starting with the quiet solo piano, adding the orchestra for the 2nd repeat of the theme and slowing building during this section and finally with 3rd repeat with everything full out until the climax and the slow ebb of the orchestra until the final bars with only the solo piano again. To me, if you could somehow chart the emotions of these three minutes, at least as I see them, it is a perfect match with the very concept TC is looking at here: the opening piano part the seduction, 1st orchestral section the foreplay and leading into the main act climaxing in the 2nd orchestral section with the slow release into the afterglow. That's why to me, these may be among the most rolmantic of any 3 minutes in all of music. It is, it some ways, a shortened musical version of a wonderful session of lovemaking.

 

A slightly "sadder" piece to add to the seduction or foreplay but it just soars with me is the Rachmaninoff Vocalise. And you can use it with either the violin version or a vocal version. For me, the vocal here with Kirii Te Kanawa is simply breathtaking. It is simply stunning, her standing simply on a plain stage, in a plain black evening gown, left hand behind her as she delivers this magnificent vocal line. Simply gorgeous

 

 

One addition to the seduction section for me would have to be the Clair de Lune by Debussy. Instantly recognizable as romantic, simple, quiet, alluring. To me a great addition to seduction

 

 

I mean there is one suggestion to added to the main act section but it is so over the top and such a cliche that it is hardly worth mentioning. But I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. The 1812 Overture. The visual picture of the cannons erupting is, in and of itself, rather homoerotic.

 

Finally, as addition to the speciality section is for the after the afterglow when your partner has left. Fomr Porgy & Bess, "My Man's Gone Now". Here with the magnificent Audra McDonald:

I love the rachmaninoff. Its so much more sexual and romantic than Bolero though I do love it as well.... Still I think the Rodrigo just takes the cake

 

I guess the one difference is that the rachmaninoff covers all the sections from seduction to afterglow, whereas the Rodrigo is rightly only in the seduction section. In fact, it may be the seduction section all by itself. It is simply magnificent and an absolute must. I say put the Rodrigo with my other suggestion of the Clair de Lune and you have a magnificent combo.

 

As for Bolero -- it is what I call the gift that keeps on giving. I won't even attempt to get that theme in my head because once it starts it just doesn't stop. Bolero literally could last hours. I would like to publicly thank Maurice Ravel for screwing with my mind so many times because once that bitch gets in there IT NEVER EVER LEAVES!!!! I see Bolero on the program and I run because I know that damned ear worm will be singing to me for WEEKS -- literally. Gorgeous but it just keeps going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and going.

 

And what in the hell ever happened to Bo Derek? just wondering

[leigh.bess.toad]

Well gee, another addition to the seduction section that we should have immediately thought of because Greatness posted a thread about it earlier: Mon coeur o'uvre a ta voix from Samson and Delilah. Here with Marilyn Horne:

 

 

And while we're in the operatic mode, a few more to throw out. For the seduction section: The Flower Song from Carmen (here with Placido Domingo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVY3vKQKSv4);

 

For the foreplay section, I can't believe I forgot the love duet Vogliatemi bene from Madama Butterfly, one of the most sensuous moments in all of opera. Here in one of the greatest recordings of all times with Renata Scotto and Carlo Bergonzi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaiZLYO0xOY).

 

And I guess for the specialty section, how in the hell I left out my own name, I have no idea, one of the greatest pieces of romantic music of all time, the Liebestod, Here with your family friend TC, Jessye Norman:

I'd be tempted to put it in the main act section, but since T&I never actually did it, I don't know if it really belongs there.
