      A musician myself, I often find inspiration through my own life, deep philosophical movies/music, among other things. I am interested to see where the rest of you gain inspiration.

      Please post in this format:

      Music:
      John Zorn
      John Cage
      Bill Frisell
      Cryptopsy
      Opeth
      Scelerius (my band)
      Maudlin of the Well

      Experiences:
      Experience makes up 99% of my artistic influence. Nature and my own perspective of life really. Of course my life is influenced by many things especially art, but these things don't usually have a direct influence on my own art.

      Movies:
      - don't really watch much TV or movies

      Music:
      - Paul Simon, Tori Amos, Enya, Elton John, Billy Joel, Nora Jones...I'll add more if I think of them

      Books:
      - I don't really read much, but if I read some really good lyrics by someone, I'll set it to music.

      Experiences:
      - pretty much anything in the realm of romance inspires my music, usually in the extreme. Like intense love, or intense pain.

      Other:
      - paintings/art can sometimes inspire music. I like impressionistic and expressionistic artists, like Chagall. But I don't really favor one artist or another...just whatever gets me at the time. Even Salad Fingers inspired some crap once.

      Music: I think it'd be dumb to say any particular band inspired me 100% of the time, but sometimes songs really hit me and I listen to them several times. One would be Procol Harum - Man With A Misison.
      Books: Same business with books, except books tend to be a more consistent source of inspiration. Sometimes really interesting sentences come up, or fasinating ideas and questions are raised. They're probably my favourite resource.

      heartbeat
      the concept of time.
