any musics/playlists/artists you guys like to hear while coding or studying?

eggsyntax14:10:38

There are lots, but somehow I find Simeon Ten Holt's "Canto Ostinato" uniquely well-suited to intense focus. I save it for really hard problems. I'd be fascinated to know whether anyone else has the same experience. You can hear a version of the whole thing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-4bh8J84Go [EDIT - linked to a different performance; sound quality was poor on the original link]

emccue15:10:37

I currently listen to either the minecraft soundtrack or stuff like pokemon route themes. Depends on the kind of work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg0IjOzopYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVDNonuvo08

CyberSapiens9706:10:11

@eggsyntax that's really interesting, i'm going to give a try!

Dormo03:10:14

Dormo03:10:41

Boiler Room is great

CyberSapiens9703:10:44

oh boy, these songs from boards of canada, they are creepy.....

CyberSapiens9703:10:49

i need the right mood

Dormo03:10:09

I wouldn't notice because it fades into the background for me.

Dormo03:10:20

I've listened dozens of times but I remember almost nothing.

CyberSapiens9703:10:51

it's those kind of songs that i've used to listen while tripping y'know

CyberSapiens9703:10:01

so, good and bad memories mixing together

CyberSapiens9703:10:47

minimal techno is good too

Eric Ervin03:10:35

I think this is classified as hard techno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJl2LyNEz0s

@eggsyntax I’ll try that! Sounds similar to some of my hard-problem music (Frozen Synapse soundtrack)

eggsyntax14:10:03

Oooh, I'll have to check that out!

3Jane14:10:28

(It’s electronic rather than acoustic, but excellent)

eggsyntax14:10:18

That works πŸ™‚ You probably saw this after I edited the OP, but if you listen, makes sure to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-4bh8J84Go instead of the link I originally posted.

I tend to get stuck on a certain artist and then move on after some time … recentish discovery: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0L4iq15qO4HwZvEcVMI7U3?si=0eNowcZzQSWUEK5PyeozvQ

Been on a synthwave kick while coding lately. This channel on YT is great for 24/7 music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIslDzEU5fM&amp;t=3647s

Which is how I found this awesome remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY5WE66YKcU

aisamu16:10:01

Oh my, thank you for that!

fellshard20:10:35

Scandroid's stuff is good; I prefer his instrumentals, as his vocals can be rather weak, and his lyrics even moreso.

souenzzo17:10:33

@emccue checkout C418 on spotify

vemv19:10:01

Over the last year I've become literally unable to work with music on... I guess it conflicts with my new pomodoro-like approach

fellshard20:10:13

Maybe make pomodoro-size playlists?
