I usually have no music or distractions, but sometimes I like music. I tend to need music without lyrics, or in a foreign language, or sometimes that is so familiar to me that I don't pay attention to the words. Usually I can't have music for high-focus tasks.

Some examples
Tabla: Ustad Alla Rakha -Ustad Zakir Hussain Jugolbondhi (complex, listen on low): https://youtu.be/zcUZiuejt9g
* Ali Farka Toure (African, warm, joyful): https://youtu.be/qI_h49D1xo8
* chill hop: axian’s mixes do it for me https://youtu.be/hdmSovWFhig
* sometimes a pandora station seeded with Keith Jarred, bill evans.
* sometimes a pandora station seeded with Pugliese and Treilo because I’m learning Tango and those songs won’t memorize themselves. Plus they’re incredibly beautiful.
1. A Pandora station seeded with Moonlight Sonata. It plays calmer classical music, avoiding the more in-your-face classical like Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Sometimes plays modern stuff like Piano Guys. I frequently combine this with some rain noise from Noisli.
2. Classic Trance. Stuff like Paul Van Dyk - Words.
I generally avoid anything with lyrics. Lyrics are incredibly distracting.
