Baroque classical
This right here. I don’t know why, but Telemann got me through university… well, Telemann and Dexedrine.
LukHash - especially the stuff without vocals sadly it seems I like the older stuff more, so my collection isn’t growing.
Thank you for this thread to get some more suggestions!Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.
Cheers to good taste!
I like instrumental electronic songs, stuff with soft emphasis on melody, but a definite beat to rely on and some good atmosphere and mood. Found a good few songs like that out of the demoscene, actually!
A few years ago, I found the music genre Math rock (especially instrumentals) which has been phenomenal for whenever I have to be productive, since my brain is hyped and busy enough to not bother me with thoughts, but not too busy to be completely distracted. I swear it’s like handing a brain toddler a tablet just to have a few minutes of uninterrupted time to be able to do some Adult Things like writing emails and uni stuff.
if someone is interested, I can drop the link to my Math rock playlist on Spotify
Also interested. I also like math rock on occasion. It makes for a great task soundtrack. Much like video game music, it kind of adds a sense of urgency to whatever you’re doing, like beating the clock or setting a new high score, but it’s doing the dishes. I’d be curious to see how your Playlist differs from what I normally listen to.
Do you have any recommendations for me? I’d love to expand my playlist with more songs - I usually get my recommendations from Spotify or YouTube, but personal recommendations are much more valuable :)
White and Pink noise where shown to increase concentration in ADHD people
Of course, I have this tab in Mull lying around for 3 weeks and in one week it will be auto-deleted!
Gotta get some white noise!
I have a playlist on Apple Music of this. Also brown noise. I wonder if I should only uses certain noise “colors?”
Hahaha I have no idea why noises have colors at all
If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.
I play metal covers of classical music, and orchestral covers of Rock songs.
Essentially, songs I recognize, but no lyrics to tie up my language processor.
The French radio station Fip is really good background music. I can pretty much have that on constantly, and even the occasional announcements don’t really break my concentration, as I don’t speak French.
Risk of Rain 2 OST
Enya can be helpful for me. Otherwise soothing classical music, the fast and loud works can be a little too distracting. It also helps me to listen to the same thing when doing a task to train my brain to focus when listening to it.
Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.
I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.
Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…
Would you be willing to share your playlist link?
Sure thing… It’s not my playlist, I just found it on Spotify.
So many types of electronic music. Trance. EDM. House. A DJ.
Sub focus and Infected mushroom off the top of my head for a couple of good ones that help me pound out the computer work 😁
Awesome, I love this stuff
Vaporwave
Stuff like Tycho, edamame, emancipator.
The first broken social scene album
SomaFM’s left Coast 70s works also
I have a channel on cytube for that exact purpose, feel free to hop on if that’s your jam ! It doesn’t require you to sign in or anything
Danheim got me through homework for most of college, got me in focus mode
