For the last 11 years I’ve been listening to autechre exclusively. Maybe that’s weird, but it’s all the sounds I need :)

#122Although I like the result, I find the track less soothing without the birds in the background. There's probably a way to generate those as well though, I suppose.
Agreed. I considered adding birds to it but I've found if I play this track in the morning and open my window so I can hear actual birds it's a nice experience.
Ha, talk about analog!

#123On a side note, saw a nice write-up celebrating the recent 25th anniversary of Selected Ambient Works Volume II: https://www.residentadvisor.net/reviews/23648 I feel like that album has a lot of potential for generative experiments. Admittedly, the album has an over-arching tone of eeriness throughout, which isn't something I want to listen to while I work most days. Maybe it would be inspiring to game developers wor…

I think it may have to do with me being ADHD, but I actually like ambient music with a little bit of a stressful edge to it. It gives me a little bit of urgency and controlled stress seems to be my best motivator.

#124There's a nice website with a clean UI called 'Music for programming', put together by a guy who curates playlists designed to compliment anyone who wants to buckle down and do deep focus creative work for a while. I've been through each of his 53 playlists several times. 'Asiatsana' is one track in one playlist, but the music overall is very much in keeping with the mood and tone of Asiatsana. https://musicforprogra…
It's really sad to see music that I grew up on and had many life experiences around get simply reduced to "music for ____".

Let me know how that goes! I know as a songwriter it'd be a great tool to have on hand.
What you describe is exactly what I'm building - https://songsling.io Didn't want to explicitly promote it here in the thread, but I'm building it to serve as a general music-content engine for artists (also for my own music, let's be honest) that will let you upload composition parts and the player will put them together on the fly. It already has interactivity built in where you can serve a different version of a t…
Just wanted to say that this looks super dope. Love the aesthetic as well.

Probably my favorite album for programming and other work that require concentration. I still haven't encountered anything like it. I wish there was more.
Another recommendation: Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
BOC’s The Campfire Headphase changed my life.
Warp Records (record label that Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada are a part of) has built a really solid catalogue over the years

Just because it can serve some purpose for others doesn't have to take away from the meaning it has for you

Oh wow... an endless generation of D.R. would send you straight to the asylum! as much as I love the bonkers-ness of Donkey Rhubarb, it's existing length is quite enough for one sitting! Come to daddy on the other hand...
One day, someone will feed the Come to Daddy video into a machine learning cluster somewhere and turn it into a 12 hour video that could give Charlie Brooker nightmares.
Windowlicker would be similarly nightmarish

To piggy-back off this, the record label Silent Season is full of great ambient/downtempo/spacey music for programming. Was listening to this today: https://shop.silentseason.com/album/the-waves
