Soundtracks to puzzle video games. Spacechem and the rest of the Zachtronics games have Great music that helps encourage concentration in my opinion.
Always Emancipator. Safe In The Steep Cliffs is excellent.
Emancipator fucks heavy. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an artist capture the feeling of misty forests and snow so perfectly. Just nature really. Safe in the Steep Cliffs and Dusk to Dawn are so evocative.
Hell yeah! I learned of them when my partner and I were walking around at a festival, and we passed a stage with the most relaxing music… we just immediately sat down, then laid down in the grass and vibed for a good half hour. Sooooo good.
Found this playlist on Spotify recently called Creative Flow Music and it is now my go-to.
Love me some Milt Jackson! The soft tones of that vibraphone are great for background music while studying
Grindcore
Minecraft soundtrack
The first Sims game soundtrack
The Movies game soundtrack
I have an ambient playlist with artists like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Sync24, 36, Cell, and some tracks from video game soundtracks.
Krautrock
None. Otherwise, I’m listening to music instead of concentrating on whatever I should be.
Usually none, sometimes classical music, Viennese Classic especially
Same, none of that low-brow Bratislava Classic, pee-yooo
buckethead. i cant focus with lyrics and i found his work perfect.
Techno, house, trance, or nintendo music.
Second this, love the trance and Nintendo tunes! There’s some good lofi Nintendo mixes on YouTube that get me through work
Random playlist from spotify with low-fi, vocal house or vocal lounge.
Selected Ambient Works
90s electronic, Autechre
I love 90s electronic for concentration. But I’ve gotten into Tycho recently.
Tycho is great! Check out Emancipator as well!
Incunabula, their debut album as Autechre, is also fantastic:
