Music can enhance a scene or help create a desired mood.

A distinction can be made between those pieces which are related to sadomasochism by the lyrics, those with suggesting or explicit videos and those which hint, using sound samples such as a whip crack or the cries of victims, nearly always women.

Music with SM themes

Even from a purely commercial motives may SM references emerge in music. This begins with the music title, the stage outfit and the show and extends through incorporated samples from SM sources to productions especially made for SM customers. In addition, there is still music which became rather by mistake the cliché, mainly by excessive use at SM parties and in clubs. These include music like "Enigma" (Michel Cretu), or, more general, Ravel's "Bolero" as accompaniment to sex.

Carlos Perón is a borderline case. The founding member of Yello had a comeback from his film audio work the 1990, with productions like "Terminatrix" and "La Salle Blanche" and others such as "Wolfsheim". Whether his SM-enriched shallow techno variations show a genuine interest in SM, is unclear.

Play music

There is a wide variety of music that could accompany play. Even unpleasant sounds can be used for tormenting a lashed victim. The "right" music can enrich a session while the "wrong" music can, in the worst case, to its downfall. The play partners should agree ideally before on choice and volume. (There are many players who prefer silence to to any music.)

The following suggestions are gathered from many sources:

Calmer music

  1. Brian Eno: "Discreet Music", "Ambient 1 - 4", "Apollo", "Sunday Afternoon", "The Shutov Assembly," "Neroli" and others. The inventor of the "genuine" Ambient.

  5. David Cunningham : "Extended Night", "The Secret Dub Life of the Flying Lizards"
  6. Delerium
  7. Coil: "Musick to Play in the Dark 1 & 2"
  8. Big City Orchestra Drones.
  9. Deadbeat: "Wild Life Documentaries", "Something borrowed, something blue".
  10. Bill Laswell: "Dead Slow"
  11. Peter Gabriel: "soundtrack - Last Temptation of Christ" (who apparently forgot his safeword)
  12. Dead Can Dance
  13. Tangerine Dream : "Zeit", "Alpha Centauri", "Ricochet", "Tangram", classical German electronics.
