I switch between Podcasts and listening to nothing at all. When I have to work out a hard problem silence really helps me, when I write easier code podcasts are a great way to spend time and keep your mind occupied

Synthwave, or orchestrated.

Music for programming, or programming music ?

I typically just listen to whatever is being thrown through the random sort in my library.
But there's typically two different elements that really work for me.
Music that adds a decent background noise, without being too distracting, even if a little loud. It helps drown out any external noises and might help increasing your focus.
As well as any music that really gets my blood flowing. Some mad high bpm synths can hit this mark quite easily, but there's also a good portion of select tracks that really kick in that feeling.

Macro a skip track button if your keyboard doesn't have one.

>>1162have you used chuck?
i've looked into it, but it seemed rather complex,
and idk how to start simply.

>>1166There's a kadenze mooc on chuck programming.
TidalCycles is the easiest to make rythms, but not the easier to install (it needs haskell, supercollider…)
To begin music live coding, i suggest Sonic Pi.
No.1169
>>1154pretty much anything without a ton of lyrics, as I find that gets distracting.
Classical, Lo-Fi, House, are all pretty good imo.

I've conditioned myself over the past days to code exclusively to old school techno. Takkyu Ishino, IHATEMODELS, you name it. Also, 2+ hours of sets, never gets boring.

Literally every song from REOL

I listen to Yeezus on full blast when it's 2am and I'm in the zone.

The music I listen to when programming is no different than the music I'd listen to otherwise. Right now it's a lot of skramz.
No.1404
Anything instrumental; Tipper and Noisia Radio.
No.1405
Typically music I normally listen to on the lower end of the spectrum for lyrics. So that encompasses Merzbow and other noise artists, occasionally Psy-Trance, Synthwave, Ebm, Hardstyle/Hardcore stuff. Most of the time though it's typically in the grindcore/death metal/deathcore/slam area. It's typically really high energy stuff, but at this point for me I'm used to it and I find it keeps me constantly working(for the most part)
No.1406
>>1154Most of the time it falls into one of the following groups:
Power Electronics, Gabber;
Psytrance, Ambient Techno, IDM;
Cyber/Industrial/Death/Black Metal;
Dubstep, UK Garage

I've been trying to decide lately if programming with music on or off leads to me being able to concentrate more or less while programming. I feel like it almost hampers my ability to concentrate. What do you all think or experience? Is it similar?
No.1629
I don't actually program, but still needs concentration to work in front of a screen, so I guess I'll barge in to add one thing. Another kind of music that is most of the time peaceful, regularly intense without being disturbing but takes you along with it flow, without lyrics, is post rock (as well as post metal). You'll find various sources for it, the most obvious being, for me, Wherepostrockdwells and Worldhaspostrock channels on YT
