This vapor youtube channel is really good. He takes songs from wherever, slows them down and puts them into mixes. The song selection is crazy good, just pick any video.

Re: Music for Programming
#53Happy to join the co-oping of this post for programming music discovery. My top 5 over the last few years (no particular order):
[Elect] Daft Punk - Tron Legacy OST
[Synth] Perturbator - I Am The Night
[Metal] A Skylit Drive - Wires... and the Concept of Breathing
[ ??? ] Postal Service - Give Up
[Synth] Dance with the Dead - B-Sides: Vol. 1Re: Music for Programming
#54I've always described myself as a person with zero ability to multitask. Always have been, always will be. Every time I cook, my wife about has a panic attack watching me fumble around, forgetting things, looking for things, oh god that's burning, etc.
Back on topic, I absolutely cannot listen to music with words when I code. I'll intermittently type lyrics instead of what I was intending to do. Anyone else cursed with such a thing?
If anyone cares, I actually like a lot of the vaporwave/outrun/whatever it's called now stuff when coding. Techno is a bit too jarring, and while I love classical, it either puts me to sleep or carries me away in thought.

#56Thanks for sharing. I have also been fond of alpha waves while working. Soothing wave of consistent sound without much alternation makes me hyper focused.

Re: Music for Programming
#58Surprised not to see any tracks from Telefon Tel Aviv's Fahrenheit Fair Enough [1]. 1. https://telefon-tel-aviv.bandcamp.com/album/fahrenheit-fair-...
landmark album! all of the telefon albums are great in their own right.
Indeed! Happy to see them mentioned here. The recent stuff since one half of the band unfortunately took his life is good too.
Second Woman is another project by the same guy, a bit more frenetic and experimental, but very cool.

#59This is a very old website, and apparently they redesigned it. I love the music they make. Some of the sets are exceptional, even.
They also publish these as a podcast too. It's available in iTunes IIRC.
On the other hand, I can use music as an external clock source for my brain. I can adjust the fuel/air ratio of my brain, and make it cruise or go flat out fast. At the end of the day, my energy is limited, and if I need to finish things, I go fast, but got burned at the end of the day. Then go home, and just sit and chill down.
If my workload is normal, I listen to something more chill, allows a more even day, but I don't go as fast.
Re: Music for Programming
#60I just quickly scrolled through my collection and here are some random, but fantastic instrumental albums I've used while "in the zone": - Miles Davis: In a Silent Way - Brian Eno: Ambient 4: On Land - Godspeed You! Black Emperor: F♯ A♯ ∞ (one of my favourite albums. listen with your best headphones. HD650s are good) - Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works Volume II - Mozart: Requiem (my first proper introduction to cla…
You can add Haircuts for Men to that list
