The music of SILENCE. And I never listen to music at any other time either.
I’m beginning to think this makes me extremely unusual.
Deep Focus playlist on Spotify
Thrash Metal or Mozart.
- lofi
- ambiance
- game soundtracks (chill ones)
Depends on how my mind is. If I need to concentrate because I am anxious, I try to put on something without serious lyrics, though gentle enough to calm my anxiety down. If I am calm yet finding it hard to focus, I tend to put on light music that I usually listen to, like my most listened to tracks: I find these tracks are the easiest to drown out with the least distractions, as I already know in my head where the tracks are going, however with new tracks even instrumentals when I lose concentration I tend to focus too much on the new tunes and such.
Many times I don’t listen to anything as my head is too cluttered that way.
Mandopop cause I only understand a handful of words.
Dark Academia or Bossa Nova Jazz
Read that as contraception.
Either way, probably some post rock or blues or cool jazz or something.
Ambient jungle/PlayStation DnB
Instrumental. I find music with lyrics very distracting and annoying.
My personal playlist with a mix of edm or lo-fi/jazz-rap stuff. The edm part is usually chill and with minimal or no lyrics
The music varies a lot. Everything from Adam Young, via Hiromi Uehara, to Dimmu Borgir. The common thread is that it has to be instrumental and not annoying.
When I actually need to concentrate, I usually stop listening to music. When I want to get into a flow state and it isn’t 100% critical I focus, it could be just about anything. This remix of the Call of Duty World at War Black Cats theme is awesome for that purpose.
something without lyrics
Beats to study/relax to
Yep has to have no lyrics or I get pulled into the song!
None. I’ve tried everything from Mozart to Metallica, and any kind of music playing while I’m trying to concentrate is more of a distraction than a help.
I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only one!
