Grindcore
Selected Ambient Works
Techno, house, trance, or nintendo music.
Krautrock
I’ve been listening to breakcore lately. Gets me in the mood for serious work, it’s like a microdose of adhd meds
When I was in the office, always metal. At home I’m more likely to listen to classical, but still metal if I need to be totally focused.
LoFi
Anything without vocals so that it doesn’t force me to actually think about it, just vibe.
Lately Chikoi The Maid (maidcore rock) or Gnome (the Father Of Time album, just-riffs-rock?) to some dnb/techno stuff, depends on the mood and how hard I need to focus - faster is better then.
Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).
Always Emancipator. Safe In The Steep Cliffs is excellent.
Emancipator fucks heavy. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an artist capture the feeling of misty forests and snow so perfectly. Just nature really. Safe in the Steep Cliffs and Dusk to Dawn are so evocative.
Hell yeah! I learned of them when my partner and I were walking around at a festival, and we passed a stage with the most relaxing music… we just immediately sat down, then laid down in the grass and vibed for a good half hour. Sooooo good.
Gaming LoFi, Gaming Metal, Gaming Jazz, Space Folk
I have an ambient playlist with artists like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Sync24, 36, Cell, and some tracks from video game soundtracks.
buckethead. i cant focus with lyrics and i found his work perfect.
House music. Nearly everyday while I code. Mostly Chris Luno sets.
It’s really hard to time it just right but the theme to Jeopardy 👍
Get it wrong and it’ll really surprise you!
I watched this muted but I still heard it
