There'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.

Re: Generating More of My Favorite Aphex Twin Track
#102Seems to go more to the direction what Autechre is doing nowadays. I'd recommend to have a listen to the NTS Sessions if you feel adventurous...
Autechre are my Phish.
Their live shows are these kaleidoscopic tours through the sounds (but not songs) of their various albums, recognizable only in passing, in fragments. Their albums are each distinct, but immediately recognizable. Most people can't stomach their music, but those who can swear by it. They aren't afraid to stretch out and take an hour+ for a single song.

#103Generative.fm was shared here last week, spawning a number of interesting discussions. If you enjoy the comments here, I suggest checking out that thread.

Many of the pieces are playable, like Avril 14th. There are a number of people [0] playing it on YouTube and I've been able to knock out a rendition as well. [0]: My favorite - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97FBWB4vv3s
That's pretty good but I don't think the higher octave stuff near the end is spot on. This is not playable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uhTwxqE4Co
I've used my nose to hit individual notes in the middle of the keyboard while using my hands at the extreme ends.
I didn't listen carefully to the whole track, but I think you could handle what I did hear that way. Not certain that would work here, just thought I'd point out that there are options beyond your fingers for pushing keys.
J. S. Bach is reputed to have held a stick in his mouth to have an additional note on tap - much more practical and playable than my stupid nose trick. If you used a forked stick or a crafted tool you could easily get more than one note, for that matter.

(I've also used my face to move modwheels while holding dense chords with both hands, but that's not really relevant to piano technique.)

The curator of Music For Programming [0] (which is fantastic, yes!) also put together the very silly collection of mixes called Businessfunk [1], which are also great coding music.
And if you try Businessfunk and decide you have the stomach for it, I recommend following up with the Komputer Cast mixes by Com Truise.

You should give a listen to the early Autechre or Speedy J. Or anything Warp put out in the 90s.
Worth to mention Boards of Canada and B12 from the Warp catalog as well. Warp has been my go-to music label since early 2000's.
LFO are also top draw stuff

#107"Selected Ambient Works 85-92" is a quality product.
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.
Try some albums of the following artists: Biosphere, Boards of Canada, Forest Swords, Kink Gong, Johann Johannsson, Park Jiha. Hope you enjoy it!

Agreed, by playable I was meaning by two hands.
Re: Generating More of My Favorite Aphex Twin Track
#110Generative music comes full circle. This side of Aphex Twin is more or less directly inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Aiports. Which itself comes out of Eno's generative music experiments.
Are you sure it was so insprired? Early IDM artists have sometimes admitted never hearing their forebears (Stockhausen, Steve Reich, etc.); they just reached similar concerns independently by noodling with electronics.
