Do you listen to music while performing magic(k) or a ritual?

Sometimes, usually just for bigger workings! If I'm working with a particular spirit or energy, sometimes I'll put on a song that was written with that spirit or energy in mind, easy example is Gustav Holst's "Planets Suite" which is an easy go-to if you're doing some sort of planetary invocation.
Other than that, you can put together a playlist of songs that sort of have the same "energy" as whatever you're trying to tap into, so something like playlist full of songs about getting rich if you're working on a money spell. I think the more you personally resonate with music in this way, the better, so it's not a bad thing to pick from your favorites.
If you want a specific band, Twin Temple has a fun musical sound and very occult lyrics that you can work with pretty easily, though it's a lot more Satanist than I am.

When I need a dark atmosphere, I listen to a band called Inade, especially their album Burning Flesh.
If I'm doing work related to angels or archangels, I might listen to Gregorian chants or even Psalms sung in the Gregorian style.
When I used to do Gallery of Magick workings, I would often listen to their albums (the ones by Zanna Blaise).
One song that has always stayed with me, and that I use whenever I do baneful magic, is If I Had a Heart by Fever Ray.

O fortuna, followed by Diem ex Dei is really powerful combo... A ritual on itself, honestly.

Gregorian chants, psalms, liturgies, I like these too. Chants in Latin, Greek and old Slavonic. Carthusian chants are nice.
Most of the time I do everything in silence, just my own readings but sometimes I have a low volume of "something" playing.
Depending on what you are doing, some ambient tunes could be great. Maybe drum sounds, a shamanic drumming session

I also like to use african and middle eastern music! I honestly recommend everyone use music that their ancestors liked. It really gets the energy going !!
