Ask HN: What kind of music do you listen to focus?

Posted by sylvain_kerkour on Thursday August 05, 2021 @10:27AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I can't focus without music, but I don't think that the music I'm currently listening is the best to focus.

So Here I am, looking for recommendations.

I listen to a lot of drone, dark ambient like Stars of the Lid, Tim Hecker but lately I've found those "Sound of rainfall, black screen" videos on Youtube to provide a background that blocks out sound outside at a decent enough high volume and lets me focus

I like upbeat (not droopy) and not too many lyrics (which can distract the language-processing parts of the brain that I need to work). Trip-hop fits the bill well for me.
