What music do you like to listen to when studying / working?

[mlfh@lemmy.sdf.org]

I have a playlist of the allegro movements from a bunch of baroque violin and harpsichord corcertos that is really nice to do intense head-down work to. Mostly Bach.
Baroque for the structure - feels mathematical and easy to predict and follow, making it easy to listen to while focusing on something else. The allegro movements for the pace - upbeat and invigorating. And a concerto has a great balance between large-scale blended orchestral sound and the melody of a lead instrument which also lends itself to supporting your focus on something else from the background.

An eclectic mix:

I'd paste the entire list if the android app had an export function.

White noise

Dub techno is great for coding stuff, especially in the winter.

I like autonomic DnB

[bootloop@sh.itjust.works]

Video game and movie soundtracks. Ambient electronic and IDM. Trance and Psychedelic Trance. All without vocals. It helps me focus on work.

Yeah, me too now.

Among other things, instrumental psychodelic rock like God is an Astronaut, or most recently TFNRSH.

Anywhere from AC/DC to pipe organ music.

Depends on what my ADHD brain wants at any given moment.

studying: classical is best, instrumental good, something in a language I don't know acceptable

working, my actual job: something I can dance to: classic country, bluegrass, pop, hip hop, swing, salsa, cha-cha, big band

working, chores at home: something I can sing along with: folk ballads, power ballads, sea shanties, 90's hits, aughts hits, emo, any flavor of punk, singer-songwriter anthems, protest music, hyperpop, hip hop

working, on a computer: deathmetal, speed metal, power metal, alt-pop, doo-wop, hip hop, and while not technically music also standup comedy bits

Usually death metal, but sometimes I mix it up with something random

[victorz@lemmy.world]

And if you were to search this up, what would you type?

[bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de]

lofi hip hop on YouTube.

[scytale@piefed.zip]

For studying, instrumental music or at least music with lyrics I don't understand. My go-to is my own curated playlist of film/movie soundtracks.

For working, anything goes. I have a variety of playlists like metal, prog rock, fusion, acid jazz, kpop, j pop/rock, etc.

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

Lofi beats to study to

[ephera@lemmy.ml]

I need it to not be distracting, so no vocals in a language I comprehend, or I need to have listened to the song a dozen times already.

And then I need something upbeat to keep me motivated, so 8-bit music is high up the list, overly epic orchestral music also always works, but at like 3 o'clock in the morning, nothing hits like instrumental classical music.

Any of mayv's mixes https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKz7MQ6y9w-K456AwrcUa_geIewSGOqF- or a four hour playlist I made of the same sort of genre
