I play metal covers of classical music, and orchestral covers of Rock songs.
Essentially, songs I recognize, but no lyrics to tie up my language processor.
Abusing ones language processor is how they suck you in!
If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.
My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.
So many types of electronic music. Trance. EDM. House. A DJ.
Sub focus and Infected mushroom off the top of my head for a couple of good ones that help me pound out the computer work 😁
Awesome, I love this stuff
I like instrumental electronic songs, stuff with soft emphasis on melody, but a definite beat to rely on and some good atmosphere and mood. Found a good few songs like that out of the demoscene, actually!
LukHash - especially the stuff without vocals sadly it seems I like the older stuff more, so my collection isn’t growing.
Thank you for this thread to get some more suggestions!Are you me? LukHash is my go to. I can’t imagine how many times I’ve listened to Virtual Burnout and Better Than Reality in the last year.
Cheers to good taste!
Anything with a fast beat and no lyrics.
I have a Spotify playlist I found called “drum’n’bass no lyrics” that fits the bill.
Also use any of the bonkers releases (favourite is bonkers 14) but they have lyrics… I’ve found that once I’ve listened to them a few times though I don’t notice the lyrics anymore…
Would you be willing to share your playlist link?
Sure thing… It’s not my playlist, I just found it on Spotify.
It’s been a few years I’ve only listened to music without any vocals in it. My favorite is tuning to SomaFM’s ambient-music stations like Synphaera, Deep Space One, Space Station and, if you are really into the slowest kind of ambient music, Drone Zone. Soma has many instrumental stations with specific genres like Fluid for instrumental trap.
Strong recommend for soma.fm. ONE of their stations will have what you’re looking for.
Vaporwave
Stuff like Tycho, edamame, emancipator.
The first broken social scene album
SomaFM’s left Coast 70s works also
White and Pink noise where shown to increase concentration in ADHD people
Of course, I have this tab in Mull lying around for 3 weeks and in one week it will be auto-deleted!
Gotta get some white noise!
I have a playlist on Apple Music of this. Also brown noise. I wonder if I should only uses certain noise “colors?”
Hahaha I have no idea why noises have colors at all
If you think of low frequencies as “red” and high frequencies as “blue”, corresponding to the range of the visible light spectrum, then pink noise has more “red” and less “blue”; white noise has equal amounts of all frequencies, etc.
Brown noise is what I sleep to
Baroque classical
This right here. I don’t know why, but Telemann got me through university… well, Telemann and Dexedrine.
Risk of Rain 2 OST
I have a channel on cytube for that exact purpose, feel free to hop on if that’s your jam ! It doesn’t require you to sign in or anything
Nightcore’d stuff, when I need to get amped up to do something not interesting, stuff like apocalyptica for relaxing/wind down
Enya can be helpful for me. Otherwise soothing classical music, the fast and loud works can be a little too distracting. It also helps me to listen to the same thing when doing a task to train my brain to focus when listening to it.
