Music for Programming (2011)

Nothing better than Gamelan, the album Degung Sabilulungan vol. 2 in particular[0]

The repetitive, gentle sounds put me into a high efficiency mode without putting me to sleep like most ambient.

Oh wow, I didn't think i'd see someone mentioning Gamelan, but while were on the subject, have you tried Geinoh Yamashirogumi? Check this out!

Big fan of their Ukranian folk album "Chi no Hibiki Higashi Yuroppu wo Utau", it's a jewel for programming (apart from THAT track).

It's precisely via Gamelan, which led me to Akira OST gamelan sounds, that I've discovered Geinoh Yamashirogumi (which then led to Muslimgauze, tangentially)

Cheers!

I just listened to the video you linked to. It seemed promising, but the lead flute was too much of a distraction for me. Perhaps after more hours of listening it wouldn't be such a problem.

I agree, I hope it catches on.
