Ambient jungle/PlayStation DnB
Mandopop cause I only understand a handful of words.
Instrumental. I find music with lyrics very distracting and annoying.
My personal playlist with a mix of edm or lo-fi/jazz-rap stuff. The edm part is usually chill and with minimal or no lyrics
The music varies a lot. Everything from Adam Young, via Hiromi Uehara, to Dimmu Borgir. The common thread is that it has to be instrumental and not annoying.
When I actually need to concentrate, I usually stop listening to music. When I want to get into a flow state and it isn’t 100% critical I focus, it could be just about anything. This remix of the Call of Duty World at War Black Cats theme is awesome for that purpose.
A John Digwed mix is perfect for me and ticks all the boxes
- No lyrics
- Lasts for hours
- Never gets too repetitive, changes over time
- No starting/stopping between songs.
I’ve done my best work to his live in Cordoba mix
Taylor Davis.
Synthwave, Post-Rock, Post-Metal, Shoegaze.
It’s what I mostly listen nowadays anyway.
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!
something without lyrics
Beats to study/relax to
Yep has to have no lyrics or I get pulled into the song!
Baby Shark x Ich Bin Schnappi, 10 hour endless loop.
This guy anxieties
None. I’ve tried everything from Mozart to Metallica, and any kind of music playing while I’m trying to concentrate is more of a distraction than a help.
I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only one!
