I am a big fan of listening to Drone Zone on SomeFM while programming

Oh yeah, I remember listening to that when they only had around 5 episodes

They still do the high-pitched beep when you start or stop I see haha

Thank you

in addition to the lofi/ambient, something I've really been enjoying recently is this lofi stream with random live air traffic control talk overlaid https://www.lofiatc.com

[-] Wolpertinger@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

No one mentioned lofi girl? The youtube channel's study stream is amazing for helping me focus on coding.

[-] wyrmroot@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

This is my favorite as well - but I use their Discord channel

[-] sisyphean@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I don't really like thinking about what to listen to, so I use di.fm (an internet radio for electronic music) and just enjoy the endless stream of music. Some of my favorite channels:

  • Electro Swing - my absolute favorite, energetic and fast but improves focus
  • LoFi Hip-Hop - like the popular YouTube mixes but better curated and higher-quality
  • Liquid DnB - this is the middle ground between relaxing LoFi and energetic "Matrix" style coding music

It was really hard to find music I enjoy but I can also concentrate while listening to it. These 3 channels have been the absolute best for me in this regard. I hope you will like them too.

Tons of high quality ambient and drone to help you get in the zone

[-] Threen@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Wow there is a lot there! Thank you

I will listen to a few at work this week

[-] orbit@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

For sure and enjoy!

I'd also like to recommend this Spotify playlist should you have it. Not drone, but a fantastic large scale selection of good background tunes and with nearly 7500 tracks I just put it on shuffle and let it go.

Over 24 hours of Cyberpunk music?!?! Oh my god Thank You!!!

[-] boolko@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

After years of trying different genres I found the best music for me: instrumental metal.

My go to artists are:

  • Andromida, for something hardcore
  • God is an Astronaut, for something melodic and chill
  • Outrun the Sunlight, TANK86, Modern day Babylon for the times when I want to listen to something else
  • anything that Spotify recommends

And my recent discovery: The HU. Mongolian band playing a mix of folk/rock/metal with a lot of throat singing. Since I don't understand Mongolian and throat singing is very uncommon for me, I just treat it as another instrument, and it can easily get me in the zone.

[-] ChimpScanner@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Nice suggestions! If you want something chill, I recommend David Maxim Micic or Plini. If you want something more technical, Polyphia and Intervals are all amazing.

[-] boolko@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Nice, new music for my collections, thanks a lot!

[-] i_am_hungry@meganice.online 3 points 1 year ago

All about electronic music for me when coding, like the liquid drum and bass mixes from this guy https://youtube.com/@themanfromdelmonte, or pretty much anything from Cercle https://youtube.com/@Cercle

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I typically listen to game music or similar tracks

[-] Threen@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you, I will check them out!

Two of my old favourites were the Frozen Synapse OST and Dune: Spice Opera (although not technically a soundtrack)

[-] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah ive listened to the frozen synapse ost a bunch, especially a functioning god. Ill check out dune

[-] pec@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Is there a genre that's similar to that but instead of being relaxing it's energizing? I love the isolation that music provides but acerbate my daydreaming tendencies higher frequency beats would be better but it often includes distracting beat drops or sudden track changes

[-] pec@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

That's great! Thanks

[-] impossible_silver@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Soundtrack for Furi (the game) is incredible: Youtube link. Also see other (synthwave) music by Waveshaper, Carpenter Brut, French 79, The Toxic Avenger, ...

On that note (haha 🎶), I enjoy the "Pop Goes Classical" playlist on Spotify if I want to listen to something familiar and recent in pop culture, but played using classical instruments without distracting lyrics:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWUPafHP1BJw1?si=k5VFZi7uR7WCpPamvEKneg

If it's something original like Mozart or Vivaldi, I get too enthralled with the classical scores, so backgrounding pop melodies over piano or string instruments is a compromise.

[-] chaoticAnimals@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Nice. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the rec :)

[-] empyrean@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Weirdly I code not with music but with iPhone's background sounds feature. Usually it's Rain sound. Also there are sites like https://asoftmurmur.com/ to fully customize your ambient sound.

[-] kellysolo@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago
[-] snaggen@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I have 2 categories, either Classical Music ( actually my preferred classical programming music is The Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018 by Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and I'm not entirely sure it qualify as "Classical" ) or 80-style hard rock (Like the soundtrack for Peacemaker)

[-] ruffsl@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

In addition to LoFi that others have recommended, I'd also suggest Chillstep. Chillstep is mellow, rhythmic, but without all the artificial scratchs and pops common in LoFi.

This is a playlist I tried to replicate from memory of the playlists I loved to listen to back before Google bought and closed down Songza, a curated music streaming platform:

BTW, if anyone could provide a better genre classification of this playlist, or similar albums/artists, I'd be grateful! I had to piece this together from sampling song radio suggestions and auditory recall, as I can't recall names, nor bothered to make note of them when auto playing from Songza back in the day.

[-] cabbage@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

On Spotify I often listen to "Dance Covers", it is a mix of known songs with a higher bpm or increased base.

It has the perfect beat range for my taste :)

[-] benonions@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Aphex Twin for me.

Something about those snare rushes just tickles my brain the right way and helps me to focus.

[-] Denaton@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Anything with upbeat tempo, i have a 5 day playlist of metal music i just shuffle..

[-] killbox@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I mainly listen to classical music. Mainly clarinet concertos, because I just happen to have a lot of them.

[-] kane@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I tend to rewatch TV shows I've seen before in a quarter tile of my screen. Gives me that background noise and doesn't really distract me from work as I've seen the episodes before.

When I get bored of that, I like to fire up an EDM set on Youtube. An Armin Van Buuren set or something.

Katana zero soundtrack amazing music and game

[-] roland@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I use brain.fm and switch genre as needed, but I mostly stick to lofi and rain.
