The Playlist: WORKtoDATE Design Director Greg Bennett
Take a listen to our latest music mix straight from York, Pennsylvania and the Eames-inspired home office of WORKtoDATE design director Greg Bennett.
What do you listen to while you work? Rock, alternative, blues, jazz, hip hop, and TED Talks.
How do you listen? Headphones or Bose SoundDock.
Do you have any favorite music websites/providers? I often stream KEXP Seattle and WTMD Baltimore.
Does music influence your work? Absolutely—in particular, a poster I designed for the Society of Design promoting the visit of designer Armin Vit. I designed it while listening to “Mad Flava” by Fatboy Slim and made that claim on the poster itself.
Where do you find music recommendations? Who influences your musical taste? In addition to tagging everything I hear and like with Shazam, I frequently visit BASE, Stereogum, KEXP Seattle, WTMD Baltimore, and Pitchfork. My music taste is a reflection of the previously mentioned, as well as many live concerts and my friends.
If your work was a song, what would it be? “Will Do” by TV On The Radio.
