content: What do you guys like to listen to while you work?I like to put on stuff like Tangerine Dream's Rubycon and pretend I'm in space. Sometimes people get mad though cause I don't respond when they talk to me. I tried explaining that in space no one can hear you scream, so they probably can't hear you talk either, but it fell on deaf ears.

One of my fave electronic artists (Sasha) also seems to work well for me.I like to watch Dave's and Mike's videos for inspiration, although productivity plummets from the distraction if I try to work at the same time. Need a dual-core brain for that I think.

content: I love mods. I've started a pet project to organize a CD's-worth of my favorite old electronica mods and re-sample them with modern synths, sample packs, and effects plugins. Ironically, it's really easy to get attached to the quirks of the original samples -- variable length attacks, loop points, and frequency spectrum based on the played note, for example.

It's a thread that weaves itself through every part of my life. 2) I find a good steady beat can sync my mind to a pattern, and it becomes easier to concentrate. Otherwise, there are all the infinite, minute distractions of other people's conversations, the HVAC, traffic noise, etc...

content: Noisy office, noisy home, music with lirics are not productive, so Jazz or Classical but only if in the mood.So my preference reagge beats, always works no matter the mood.The problem with lyrics is that I tend to pay attention to the lyrics taking concentration away. Of course it depends on the task, if it's just changing things that are not too complicated the noise doesn't bother me at all, but comming up with new algotrithims in a noisy environment it's not very productive and frustating.

content: Most of them, when just crunching away, avariety of music(mostly metal though - but metal is not just metal to the accustomed ear), but most importantly; hand picked selection of albums and artists. One does not simply put the music player on shuffle. I neither can't stand radio for longer than half an hour, even it's a rock/metal radio station.When I am not that busy, it's mostly some progressive or music that blends in fine into the ambient.Unfortunately at work some colleagues find it a necessity to listen to radio out loud on speakers, indoctrinating their (well actually the radio's DJ) music taste on others. Aargh!

content: Listening to music while working is not a generational thing. I am in my late 50's and enjoy music in background, h owever, I don't listen all the time. Just when I am in the mood. I will either make up a playlist in musicmatch or use one of my playlists in iTunes. The music varies depending on mood. Could be inspirational, progressive jazz, classic rock or classical music. The speakers are on my desk. My desk for my work computer is right behind me so I can easily reach back and kill the volume if I get a service call. The speakers are far enough from my workbench that the volume I keep is just above ambient when I am sitting there.

content: It really depends if you're mainly using the creative, logical or memory part of the brain.If you're just spewing out code from memory, such as writing glue logic to tie stuff together, then almost any music you enjoy is good music for the task.If you're using the creative part of your brain to route PCB tracks for example then the music needs to be somewhat soothing to help boost creativity.If you're using the logical part of your brain to figure out the needed math for a function then silence is almost always the best option.

Basically, just like when you're parking the car and turning the radio OFF.For the rest of the design stuff, PCB layout, research, it depends on my mood really. AC/DC (on vinyl), maybe some Rammstein, Linkin Park. If I feel extra lazy or it's kind of early in the morning, some Jazz or something with not too much punch to it (anything from the 80's to present).

My preference is absolute silence, so I can hear my own pulse and the sound of blood running though my head.Unfortunately working from home often precludes that, so when the kids are around the noise-cancelers go in and its Stevie Ray Vaughan, Blues Brothers, Jeff Healy, Pink Floyd, AC/DC (preferrably Bon Scott era), Eva Cassidy, Dire Straits (the original album only) or sometimes when I'm in the mood the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack (original Vinyl master).If I really need to concentrate and there's just too much noise then Tchaikovskys 1812 or Vivaldis Four Seasons. If I'm just cleaning the office, then it's Hot August Night... loud.In the workshop it's often Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler, Chet Atkins & Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins and Les Paul (Chester & Lester) and sometimes Les Paul & Mary Ford. Guitar gods, all of them.When sitting down with a Scotch, it's Brothers in Arms, Dark Side of the Moon or Chet Atkins the RCA years.But silence is my preference. I suppose I should have stayed single, I'd have less noise, more time and more money!

content: Silence when thinking, is my preference. But, where I live there are some neighbors with dogs that bark intermittently - which kills my thought state like asserting a CPU reset line. So, when I need to NOT be annoyingly interrupted, I play music or pink noise. Unless I'm doing something where I need to listen for small sounds of electrical or other failure.Lots of different playlists on my media server PC.Apart from 60s through 80s classics and some modern Western stuff, I like Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, kpop and jpop. Foreign language music is a good way to not be distracted by lyrics. Also gaming music - endless really fantastic stuff.Apart from ripped WAVs from my CD collection (or sometimes actual CDs still), most of it is downloaded youtube clips. Currently usinghttp://keepvid.com/for that. Allows dl of just the audio if you prefer.Ha ha my media server PC is gutless and with many clips can't decode the video fast enough. But who cares, the audio is OK.No point listing stuff you've all heard of. Just some you possibly haven't. Ordered randomly, as I came across them in my folders. URLs are old and may be moldy. You know the drill - search youtube for the title.(Oh FFS. I forgot the forum linkifies youtube links. Sigh. Resulting in this post inserting about 100 youtube screens.

content: If I'm designing stuff then I need silence to concentrate, unfortunately I have arguing neighbours downstairs and newly married neighbours having hot crazy sex upstairs so sometimes I head off to the library for some peace and quiet.When building it's anything instrumental from Bach and Vivaldi to early Tangerine Dream and Vangelis. This afternoon I finished a PCB whilst listening to 'Poland' followed by '1492 Conquest of Paradise'.
