    Hey thur !


    Thought it might be a good thing to share the music we're listening to when we work on stuff so other people can discover new sounds...


    Did a bit of research before to see if there was another thread like this one... search negative... soo I'll go ahead blip blip.


    Depending on my mood I might listen to game soundtracks, movie soundtracks, other genres, but sometimes I crave chill out electronic music.


    Here's my share: https://soundcloud.com/tennysonmusic

    Part of me is tempted to move the other music thread into this forum because there's year's worth of gold in there that the EOT-averse are missing out on. Also it'd help get even more music in there.

    Not music this time but I'm always listening to some podcasts at work. Great way to learn a thing or two and have some good laughs


    Joe Rogan (he can be a bit of an asshole sometimes but his show is great, lots of really interesting guests)

    Duncan Trussell (he's pretty much my favorite human being right now lol)

    I cant really concentrate well if there's voices or lyrics so tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff.


    Ghostly International is pretty good for this. Also I listen to a lot of game soundtracks. I looked up all the artists from Hotline Miami and they have some really good music on their labels and solo albums.

    But yeah, I really can't work while listening to people talking, which is super annoying when you've got lots of podcasts you wanna listen to, don't really mind lyrics since those are easier to tune out. Then again it also depends on whether it's creative work where you have to have to concentrate a bit or if it's just technical repetitious work where you can turn your brain off a bit, I find it easier to listen to podcasts with the latter.


    I usually listen to stuff on Spotify, where I find stuff I like and then keep listening the same song so much that I end up hating it

    I have a pretty vast collection of electronica that I listen to while working, much of which lacks vocals but even the ones with vocals are pretty fine for working IMO.

    I've posted a lot of it in the random music thread over the years, but here are some from today's playlist (go ahead and explore the artists further if you like):

    As a programmer I cant listen to any podcasts or any music with easy to hear lyrics in them as it spaces me out.


    One example is that I might be starting a new story/task


    "create and implement the new chest drop that should be in zone a and k"


    I fire up visual studio to write some code. I search for things to do with "drop" or "item" to find something relevant. I remember items drop in the game, so I look at how the item drop code is done so that I can implement the chest drop in a similar fashion. I discover a nice class that seems to handle all the drop code, its called "DropManager". I read that class to understand it, check where it is used, oh its used in the input code that deals with touch and mouse events and HOLY DIVER You've been down to long in the midnight sea, Oh whats becoming of meeee.. Ride the tiger. You can see his stripes but you know he's clean


    Fuck where was I. Okay, look at the item drop code.. DropManager?

    lmao Skjalg, spot on for programming. Design work is much easier to get in the zone with music and podcasts and shit. I used to watch TV series as well, sometimes it's great inspiration.
