None. Music would be a distraction for me.

[iww4@lemmy.zip]

I put on any number of those 10 hours of Halo Theme/Terminator theme/Interstellar theme that are on YouTube.

Generally movie scores and things that can be background music.

Depends on how much brain capacity I need. When I need to actually think, it has to be instrumental. So game soundtracks, classical music etc. Stellaris is one soundtrack I quite like for thinking. When it's something I have to think really hard about, it's music off though.

Otherwise, when I'm working on a repetitive, brainless task, it's whatever I'm in the mood for. Metal, country, j-pop, post-punk... could be anything really.

I usually don’t have music on when I really need to focus, but I do like ambient instrumental music (soft electronic or piano) while reading leisurely

[rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Usually a big playlist of Emancipator songs.

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

[geometrinen_gepardi@sopuli.xyz]

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

[binette@lemmy.ml]

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.

[ace_garp@lemmy.world]

Yeah, me too now.

Thanks for the find. (c:

Surprised nobody posted this yet.

[ving_thor@lemmy.world]

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

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

Anywhere from AC/DC to pipe organ music.

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

[nemo@slrpnk.net]

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
