![]() Most of the tracks are without lyrics which is important for me, as I can’t code to music with vocals. Now as ever, I tend to program in silence.Ī few years ago I settled on a subscription to Digitally Imported, which is a music streaming service specialising in electronic/dance/ambient music. I explained to my child this week (while putting on some lute music as a contrast to Chinese string instruments) that in the past there was no recorded music and all music was experienced live. Music without lyrics or with foreign language lyrics have better staying power, but it's still weak. I find I can listen to a given piece of music with lyrics precisely once or twice, after which it is intolerable. Not denying the aesthetics, these days I am less intellectual and can tolerate some music but it's still pretty grating. Later I read in to Buddhism and IIRC it has the same take, essentially if you allow yourself to be subsumed by senses you are displaying laziness. Why would you permit your mind to be occupied by such noise? I found it troubling that nobody shared my perspective. As a child I found muzak in supermarkets and lifts and radio stations in people's cars to be borderline insane. ![]() I've never been a passive music listener. I bounced off that idea when trying to figure out reasonably popular band brand (because they are not trying to help you develop for that hardware) - if someone has any experience with those and likes the idea, absolutely hit me up. You know, how you sometimes have to turn off the radio when looking for something while driving, or how stuff is so easy it gets boring to the point where you can't work? Yeah, that's Yerkes-Dodson. It's easy in video games, since games have all the context and 'music too annoying for the fight' gets picked up quite easily in testing, even if someone happens to not know science behind it.Ĭheck out graph on What you would ideally have is a music adapting to changes in your cognitive load - which can be modeled surprisingly easily with even the weakest biofeedback tools, like some smart bands. You can mix the two, but you can try fast, complex and new music for coding and see how it goes. Fast-slow is one dimension, but pretty strong cognitive psychology research points at complexity (or even cognitive load more precisely, like new genres and off-tempo music). ![]() You probably want something slightly different. ![]()
