Under the “Experts Advice” section, we ask representatives from various industries to share professional advice and preferences.

Each of us has not just <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favorite_Song">favorite styles and tracks</a>, but music to which it is pleasant and convenient for us to work.

This week programmers share a list of songs that help to distract and tune in to a working mood.

“Developers have creative work, it is important for us to concentrate on the task. To come up with a really good, reliable solution and take into account all the details, you need to shield yourself from all other distractions. I can't work when something bothers me: my thoughts are constantly jumping from work task to problem and back. And my favorite music allows me to relax, escape from worries and troubles.

My direction is witch house, a rather young style, similar to dark ambient. With her, I immerse myself in myself, in complete calmness, I just put off problems for later and can do what I need to do right now. Their main feature is remakes of famous songs, which at the same time turn into something completely unrecognizable. For example, Kioki - D ▲ RK is made from the Tutsi group song "Samy, most". The song about Linda is my favorite. "

“In general, in today's micro-office environment, it is rather difficult to concentrate on tasks such as mapping databases to objects and the logic of web interfaces. Therefore, I prefer to completely isolate myself from my colleagues with monotonous techno music. Techno and house help me concentrate, and the more mechanical a track gets, the better I feel the "server beat". At least that's my impression over the last few months of working in the office. At home, I still prefer to work in silence. "

“Usually, while working, I use music as a way to drown out <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/example/english/extraneous-noise">extraneous noises</a> and not be distracted from work, so after about a couple of tracks I stop paying attention to what exactly is playing in the headphones. To avoid any abrupt, unplanned changes in the background music, I usually include a playlist of one artist on Yandex.Music. If you are in the mood to experiment - by genre.

Depending on the noise level in the room, musical preferences can vary from something like Enter Shikari and Bring Me Horizon through the calm electronics of the Clams Casino to something classic like Olafur Arnalds, if the surroundings are quite quiet. "

“When I work, I usually listen to instrumental movie soundtracks <a href="https://bazedon.com/interesting-reasons-to-love-listening-to-music">for some reasons</a>. For example, for the last couple of days I have been "chasing" Bill Conti's music to films from the "Rocky" series.

For me personally, due to the lack of a vocal component, such music minimally distracts from the work process and, on the contrary, promotes immersion in the code. "
