Music you program/study/draw/do_brain_activity to

I’ve been coding a bit and listening to music, and thought, I wonder what music people code (or do other activity that requires one to concentrate and use brains) listen to here. So how a bout a thread to share music you concentrate to. :stuck_out_tongue:

Rules:

  • Provide links for people to at least be able to check out a preview
  • Tag your music with GENRE1 VOCALS/NO VOCALS SHORT/LONG/LONGPLAY2

1: You can have multiple genre tags
2: Short is <= 5 mins, Long is <= 10 mins, LONGPLAY > 10 mins

Why tag?

AMBIENT NO VOCALS LONGPLAY
Demon’s Souls Dark Souls - Ambient music mix
Ever since I first heard it, this has been a go-to for me whenever there’s something I need to focus on.

AMBIENT VOCALS SHORT
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat OST - Theme of Pripyat Day (HD)
The whole Call of Pripyat soundtrack is great, but I like this one especially.

AMBIENT NO VOCALS LONGPLAY
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports [Full Album]

AMBIENT NO VOCALS LONGPLAY
Erik Satie - Gymnopédies

In general, I find in particular that music with percussion instruments or clear vocals will hinder, rather than aid, my focus.

If you want Longplay, just let the mix run. A few tracks in that mix have vocals. The majority do not.

If there’s one thing I don’t want to think about whenever I hear a particular piece of music, it’s that.

Use backticks (The key to the left of 1) before and after keywords to make tags.
