What music do you listen to when coding?
by
Ray
Mine’s ODESZA’s A Moment Apart album. It’s gold.
I have a playlist that I work on over time for both Spotify and Apple Music when I'm coding.
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Vaakov2VlTyEzuRPGUseU?si=4gSKPu2MR0eF6dgfjQXM5Q
Nice choice with A Moment Apart.
Have you managed to get it so that the intro is a 1-minute onramp to flow state, and by the time the first chord of A Moment Apart hits a minute in you're ready to go?
Yeah man, this is GOLD. It gets me in the zone all the time. The first thing I listen to right out of bed.
The theme tune to Mission Impossible.
Lo-fi, deep house, electronica, ambient. No vocals! Nature sounds also help a lot.
I start my days with https://www.brain.fm/
Then move to https://www.focusatwill.com/ in the afternoon
I actually really enjoy the AI powered music of Endel: https://endel.io/
But if it's a real nail bitter of an algorithm, then I always go back to the fray.

Life changing.
Piano / lofi / spa-music.
Everything that's calm with no or minimal singing.
lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A
Also available in Spotify.
Cool :D
I love rap and lo-fi. My favorite artists include Jack Harlow and John Wolf.
Relaxing music playlist (nature sounds, instrumental, etc.).
I'm currently listening to Josquin de Prez (https://youtu.be/O71wjSoystA).
120bpm or nothing.
💖 that ;)
Old game soundtracks are totally zen.
Try Warcraft 2
He.art album by Astrix
it really rocks 🤘🏻
Synthwave & Future Synth Underground - 264 songs, 18 hr 17 min playtime.
Deathcore from Australia
or
Lo-Fi beats :D
I pretty much always listen to Kurzgesagt soundtracks: https://www.youtube.com/c/Epicmountainmusic/playlists
Its funny that humans should recommend music to other humans, but it works. Try asking our global community what they're listening to today!

I have a massive playlist with albums that I find engaging.

It focuses on video game music, which is designed to be engaging without being distracting. It has a few other albums from artists that have the same kinda vibe. I don't listen to this kind of music normally, and the downside is that it completely wrecks my Spotify end-of-year wrap-ups.
If I'm having a really intense coding session, I'll loop a single boss fight song ("Radio Tower Takeover!" or "Bombs for throwing at you") to try to bring out the right intensity. I can't do it every day, but it helps when I'm in crunch time.
Lately the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack has been great for background coding music
Piano sonatas, especially Chopin when I'm working on something harder. When I'm doing routine coding, I just listen to podcasts
I love this spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX0SM0LYsmbMT?si=2He2d41wTOCB0Xs_DLEUkA
I'm really into lofi but these days I've also enjoyed listening to some orchestral music https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ENGoyM7iTTjvf5plo7ry4?si=E6tif3oeQou2rfk19DFmXA

a list of beats.
I stick with Lo-fi beats

Absolute gold. Have you checked out the Brown Noice playlist on Spotify? However, I do like to mix it up with some upbeat electronic music :)
