Music for programming

January 25th, 2008 by elise Leave a reply »

Koen tossed me one of them blog hot potatoes. Since i like the subject, and he’s a nice guy, and nowhere was implied that not passing it on would blight my love life, destroy any chance of financial success, and generally curse me onto the seventh generation, i’ll do it.

What music do i listen to when i work ?

Well, to be honest, not a lot. I’m not very good at dividing my attention, and i need long stretches of silence for top notch concentration.

If i listen to music, it will usually be music without voice text: two favourites are Phil Glass music and Mesmeric Revelations from an obscure project called One Thousand Spirits.

For more repetitive and uninvolved tasks, i’ll take Queens of the Stone Age for upbeats. For more quiet moods there’s The Beta Band “Heroes to zeroes” and “HotshotsII”. And radio if those get old (StuBru or PureFM).

I pass this on to Philip, Kris and Koen, if they want.
