I was sitting in my living room browsing through my ipod and playing it through the stereo to listen to some bands I haven't listened to in a while. Some of the albums I pulled up dragged up some very distinct memories of certain rooms or maps in some doom wads even without having played them for years.
As I'm listening to this band called Soil of Ignorance, I'm revisiting a large circular room I remember being rather puzzled on in one of the later maps of 1KILLTNG.wad. After listening to some certain songs from Left for Dead, I'm revisiting the last level of 32in nails by Eternal. After listening to the last couple songs of The Swarm, I'm now on map15 of tnt evilution,
I'm pretty sure this is because when I first got these albums, the first thing I did was play doom with them as background music. But I'm remembering places in these wads really distinctly, compared to trying to remember wads naturally on my own without the aid of music. Like I can remember what monsters were on the map, the colors and pattern of the textures in the rooms, etc.
Anybody else have this kinda experience? I wonder if I can use this to my advantage and listen to some new music on wads I know I'm gonna like in advance, then listen to it while mapping to really help draw some creativity out of me.
