What (if anything) do you listen to while you're programming, or doing work that requires a lot of concentration?
๐ช Joe
A lot of Spotify. Usually instrumental or harder to understand vocals. Have had it hooked up to last FM so that's fun to look at stats and whatnot last.fm/user/joewrong

I put my favourite online streaming radios in a git repo and pick from there. github.com/kidd/ra... . Feel free to add yours there!

Cliff Zero
Anything by GAS en.wikipedia.org/w...)
Chicken Waffles

I used to listen to whatever was familiar on repeat -- one year I listened to Sufjan Steven's Christmas album for most of the year! Now I mostly listen to lo-fi hip hop or cafe jazz music , although I'm trying to get used to silence.

I alternate between music and ambient rain. Music can feel too distracting, but it keeps me motivated.
Michael Toomim
All the wonderful ambient tracks at musicforprogrammin...
๐งจ Stephen Coley
Anything from metalcore to hiphop to soundtracks to dreampunk. Sometimes I'll put on one of my favorite horror movies.

Recently I have started to use a particular combination of ambient noises with the app Dark Noise (which I can highly recommend), and I now notice that it really gets me in the zone. I have different noises set up for different tasks.

I enjoy listening to chillstep and synthpop while programming.

The "Organic Chill" playlist on Spotify is my go-to. It's interesting but not distracting.
๐ Matt Harwood
Big fan of Lo-fi. Nightride.fm is a good place for cyberpunk / Lo-fi, as well as Youtube...

i like having twitch irl streams running in the background that i don't need to pay attention to. it gives me that coffee shop vibe i miss, which i know not everyone enjoys, but works for me.
๐งฌ Thomas
This sounds intriguing. Any particular sorts of streams?

The beautiful and monotonous klic klac of my keyboard. Pure zen.

"Lofi beats to chill/study to"
Nick Thomas
Pretty much ditto on that. Love the vibe. Makes me feel like I could go on forever, well till i am no longer productive.
Joseph Gilmore
Yep same. Mostly mixes on SoundCloud or albums on Bandcamp. ChillHop Essential albums are especially good. chillhop.bandcamp....
๐งฌ Thomas
Yep same.
๐งฉ Ben
used to listen to whatever was on spotify, now i realized it's nice to work in silence

Anything instrumental that can move to the background once in 'the zone'. If I like the music too much I never get around to beginning the work. Be Svendsen does the trick for me.
