A bit of a tangent, but this sort of music actually makes it near impossible for me to concentrate. Instead, I have what I call "loop songs", which are selected favourite tracks that span a range of genres from fairly heavy metal to Afrobeats. When I want to focus I pick a loop song and set it to repeat (the ideal volume varies per song, but is typically moderately loud). I can't explain how or why but it settles my…

I have a very similar progress, but my favorite loop-genre to work with is grindcore. Highly recommend Magrudergrind: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB290E30AC7EEFAFB. I have listened to this album many hundreds of times by now.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why wouldn't there be ? Are you implying that listening to music has absolutely no effect on humans ?

I suppose it depends on what definition of effect is in play. To me it's like asking "is there an effect to seeing all the time?" or "is there an effect to listening to people speak Korean?" or "is there an effect to touching things?". Sure, there are second and third-order effects of using your senses - for example "looking" at an article will ideally cause you to learn something new - but our eyes and ears in parti…

Fair point, but I think the parent post was rather talking about psychological effects on subconscious.

I need some sort of extension that would "cut" out the beats from all those lofi music so I can actually concentrate.

Just the kick/low-end drum beats, or all of the rhythm (only leaving the melody)? Just curious. Sometimes I listen to relaxing music or videos on headphones when I can't sleep and I use the EQ on my phone to cut low frequencies. If it's all of the drum/rhythm that distracts you I don't know of a good solution other than finding music that's all melody and no rhythm.

I listen to the Nujabes homework edit songs for the same reason. They’re basically multi-hour long. seamlessly repeating cuts of a chill song.

Matt Mullenweg of Wordpress apparently listens to one Kanye song on repeat, up to 4 hours. I guess it works for him.

Which one? "African Americans in the capitol of France"? Personally I find hip hop/rap music rather hard to "relax" to.

I thought writing that might be too hard for some of the softer users of HN. ;-)
