I still can't find anything better to program to than Nujabes. I'm going to give this a genuine shot, but Jun Seba really left his mark on me for life. I find myself listening to his albums and songs at least twice a day. I think it's because of his repetitive beats, smooth strings and soft instrumentation. There's a reason there are 10 hour 'homework' edits on youtube for almost all of his songs. Counting Stars: htt…

For me it's

1. Absolute silence (as in - no music)

2. Pink Floyd (mostly Wish You Were Here)

While we are at it, the following is a selection of musicians whose work for me is both sedative and promotes focus (an oxymoron?). Ambient music usually garners a few sniggers, "this is what they play in spas" "whale music" etc, however in my experience can be an incredibly rewarding and effective method of relaxation and enjoyment.

Some of my favorites:

Sakamoto Ryuichi / Alvo noto

William Basinski - Disintegration Loop series

Almost anything by Martin Stimming immediately puts me in the zone for a few hours of coding. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMd8VFC-lLQ

I'm giving this one a try. It's pretty annoying when the man starts speaking to be honest. At least when I want to concentrate. But the music is good.

Yeah, that's actually the track I had in mind when I wrote "almost". But most of his music gives me a really pleasant/chilling/surreal vibe that I haven't found anywhere else.

sergiotapia imagine in 5-10 years you leave a comment like this and then come back and write ... wow crap the AI is soo much better than the talented artist I loved for life! I just wanna go back to his stuff for nostalgia sometimes but honestly it's not even close. Can you imagine that?
