Music for programming

What do you computer nerds listen to while writing programs? I'm looking for stuff that isn't distracting, and doesn't have any shitty vocals ruining my train of thought.

Basic channel.

Old demoscene or video game music. Look up Nectarine radio for example.

No vocals, excellent guitar playing. I guess also not distracting.

I usually listen to chillwave/vaporwave or synthwave. If I feel tired of those I simply put some ambiental neoclassical and proceed to relax.

vidya

there's some atmospheric shit in hitman games for example

Not sure what genres you're into (you didn't mention any) but if you enjoy electronic music then ambient/downtempo/dub techno might suit you. Try looking at some of Ultimae Records discography.
Protip: run a big playlist of music like this in random mode and long crossfader (15-20 seconds), preferably also with replaygain on to even out volume between albums. Most tracks will almost perfectly segue into one another, making for a seamless listening experience for hours upon hours on end.

lol what
this would be a recipe to disaster if some of them use different tuning or tempo, I mean, you'll get a real cacophony during these crossfades.

Not at all. If it didn't work I wouldn't recommend it. Most of the tracks are beatless or even pure ambient in the beginning and end. Many of the albums are mixed so that their tracks crossfade into one another.

this is objectively the best genre

nigger what are you doing, it's techno, there are loads of continuous mixes and albums


Check out:
Scion - Arrange And Process Basic Channel Tracks
Evan Marc & Steve Hillage - Dreamtime Submersible
DeepChord Presents Echospace Silent World (Live in Gent, Belgium)
Yagya - Sleepygirls (Mixed)
Voices From The Lake - Voices From The Lake (CD version is mixed, not dub techno but GOAT ambient techno)
XLR8R Podcast 466: Vril

Audio noise generated using /dev/urandom. Sometimes I also listen to my system binaries.

Crossfaded playlist emulates a continueous mix of everything that's in the playlist. Key is long fades (like 20 seconds) and music that is suitable for that - techno tracks which have beats at the beginning and end are less suitable, but it works quite well with downtempo tracks where the crossfaded transitions are beatless/ambient. It tends to work good with most of Ultimae's catalogue - so good that if your thoughts are busy with something else you often won't even notice track changes (changing tracks can be distracting, so if OP wants to eliminate any possible distractions then it should serve well).

Byzantine choir singing is the correct answer. Gregorian is ok too, Stallman listens to that.

Oh and I said the playlist be randomized - crossfading tracks which follow each other on the same album anyway makes much less sense generally.

I listen Spotify far better collection

Do you enjoy getting DRMed and being stripped of all freedoms?

I can't program if I'm listening to music. Drawing is the opposite.

yeah but beatmatched continuous mixes will have better energy flow from beginning til end, more consistent sound and all round smoother transitions.
Maybe for downtempo it's a little harder to find proper mixes and/or I can understand wanting to pick your own tracks perhaps, but generally if you're going to listen to any sort of 'techno' genre you might as well listen to professionally mixed continuous mixes rather than having a shuffled playlist that goes all over the place with fade ins/outs between tracks and mismatched beats, just tbh tbh.
Obviously do whichever you like and what works for you, but I'd just like to recommend shit like the above mentioned albums/mixes because personally I think it's amazing stuff and the 'zone' you can get into while listening to 40m+ consistent and continuous mixes like that is perfect for getting focused in my experience.

Anyhow I'd also like to recommend all mixes by ASC, which range from pure ambient, to downtempo, to polyrhythmic techno. and dnb. He has a lot of them for free on his blog and mixcloud and they're all top class. (Search "Auxcast" or "ASC Deep Space")

I have all the freedom I want when I use Spotify. I don't have to spend any time looking for music when that music is already there. Freedom.

I never listen to music when attempting to get cognitive work done; I find it too distracting. Working out the logic of programming is one such task that requires too much concentration. I don't know how people can do it.

I have all the freedom I want when I use Windows. I don't have to spend any time looking for commands when the programs are already there. Freedom.

Eurobeat does the trick for me. Too simple to grab your attention, but catchy and stimulating enough to improve.

Listening J-Core right now. Make me feel motivated.

I said it twice and I'll repeat it again, mismatched beats are not an issue if the tracks in your playlist don't have any beats in their overlapping sections but just things like synth pads or ambient noises etc.

I want one of those.

Listen to classical, you fucking neanderthal.

I was going to >inb4 some shitty electronic genres, but people already posted their shitty music.

We want to stay awake tho.

Looks like we've got a man of high culture in our midst, lads.

i listen to recordings of thunder

If you listen to classical music while doing something else, you're listening to it wrong. And then you go and pretend to be some kind of ubermensch when you're nothing but an utter pleb.

I don't care what anyone else says: Mozart is generally overrated, boring and trite.

There, I said it.

So tell me, what do you know about music theory?

user probably types in "1 hour of classical music" in his YouTube search bar, listens to Beethoven's 9th symphony, some Lacrimosa and then calls himself a classical amateur.

How much do you know about music?

This.

Are you the "I could write a catchy song anytime because I know musical theory" user from the other day?

There is the music you enjoy listening to, the music you enjoy playing, and then the music you enjoy studying. They may overlap, but probably not.


BGM streams and lo fi hip hop on youhooktube are a good go-to. Also ambient synth mixes.

while programming cybernetics I usually listen to cyberpunk music while my asian holographic gf dances in front of me.

I started off listening to classical music and occasionally drifted into different stuff like piano music.

Anyone used such earmuffs to block out background noise?

Mostly chillstep, "study music," instrumental melodic deathmetal and classical.

i've never found good music distracting. just lots of bad music that makes me want to kill myself, but you just delete it

dub techno, byzantine chant... I had no idea my music tastes were a 4chan meme.

The only thing I see missing from this thread is Smooth Genestar, Templar Crusader mixes and straight up ocean waves white noise albums

ambient cafe sounds

startout will chill stuff then slowly build to something upbeat like this hooktube.com/watch?v=gO3g8P7gnqs ounce you reach the upbeat stuff your in 'the zone' where you fully understand the problem and know what to do.

Does this have a download link I'm missing? The only download I could find for this is a torrent with one peer that's at 99.2% completion.

There is no better hacking (as in free software hacking) music than Gregorian chants, they are extremely relaxing.

Bach's organ works are usually not very distracing.

Chiptunes. They don't have vocals that would distract you. In fact, I listen to them whenever I start working on any programming project

Taylor Swift at max volume.

Aphex twin's atmospheric works are nice

For coding, Carbon based lifeforms. For some reason, I listen to boomer rock when I'm building circuits and electronics.

Binaural beats, the studying one in particular
