Atmospheric black metal, like Vvilderness
Any number of lofi channels, or video game music.
- Lo-fi hip hop instrumentals. Think Nujabes and related producers or MF DOOM and Madlib beats.
- Jungle/atmopheric DNB. NOT breakcore because I know electronic fans are rabid about genres and categories.
- High paced rap and rock/metal. Counter-intuitive for studying but great for physical exercise. This is mostly newer style rap.
One of:
- none,
- lofi, or
- wild speedcore music beyond most people’s imagination
Although I think options 2 and 3 are more helpful for helping me getting back from being distracted rather than concentration itself…
Surprised to see it’s not mentioned here. 24 years old internet radio, still kicking, over 30 channels with hand-picked playlists, almost all of them suitable for concentration. They are sponsoring Def-Con for years. Owner has a great Fediverse presence.
Channels have very interesting concepts like Spy Jazz, Ambient over NASA’s mission broadcasts, Celtic Folk, Vaporwave, 80s Synthpop and my favorite SF 10-33 Ambient over San Francisco Police Radio live feed.
Omg, another Soma fan! I’ve been listening for years! Groove Salad/Classic, Synphaera, and Suburbs of Goa are my favs. This is my jam!
Opera music
Spaceslug https://spaceslug.bandcamp.com/album/lemanis-remastered
It’s spacey and sluggy.
something without lyrics
Beats to study/relax to
Yep has to have no lyrics or I get pulled into the song!
It really all depends on what I am trying to concentrate on.
If I am playing a game, I actually turn the music off.
If I am driving, I have some high-octane rock playing.
If I am doing housework, I throw on the “Lo-Fi Girl” playlist.
Aphex Twin
Synthwave, Post-Rock, Post-Metal, Shoegaze.
It’s what I mostly listen nowadays anyway.
Deep Focus playlist on Spotify
The music of SILENCE. And I never listen to music at any other time either.
I’m beginning to think this makes me extremely unusual.
cafe noise real one
Thrash Metal or Mozart.
