      I first heard that years ago on Radio 3 while driving to work; a quite fascinating piece.

            Well, I don't. Can only work in quiet. But the last piece I played when I went for a walk was: Smash Into Pieces - Radioactive Mother (Lover)[^] and next on the playlist is: Haley Reinhart - Honey, There's The Door[^]

                    Unless you depend on the images, you can obtain the sound track by turning off the sound of your PC for four minutes and thirty three seconds.

                      There is a piano version at John Cage's 4'33"[^]. I believe it has unrestricted distribution. Minimalist music taken to its extreme.

                              While I am working on something I can hear different kind of sounds, but has to be without vocals. Only music fine, people singing and my concentration goes to hell.

                                The black keys, System of a down, Offspring, ACDC, Green Day, The Fratellis, The Hives, Motley Crue, Arctic monkeys, Dire Straits, ... In the software area use MusicBee (which upgrades automatically and silently) allows playlists and remembers the last played song. In the hardware area I use a set of KEF EGG loudspeakers with a nice DAC and a set of Beoplay H9 3rd gen headphones from Bang & Olufsen. All this sounds nice there.

                                      At work, most of the time it's smooth jazz, some New Age, 70's funk, 80's pop, 90's modern rock. Rick Braun, Waymon Tisdale, Dave Koz, Jeff Golub, Candy Dulfer, to name a few. Usually no vocals, but that's not a requirement. I have a 200GB microSD card in my phone with my entire music library on it. I listen using a venerable pair of Sony MDV-900 studio headphones I paid $240 for 25 years ago. I looked at replacing them a while back, and the contemporary model was >$1000 :omg: . I'll keep buying replacement ear pads every 3-4 years, thank you. Going to and from work I tend to keep music with vocals in the car, where I sing along. My steering wheel is in therapy as a result :rolleyes:. I like female singers with big, expressive voices like Oleta Adams, Gladys Knight, Queen Latifah (aka Dana Owens), Chaka Khan. Male vocalists, I'm all over the map - Frank Sinatra to Rick Astley (yes, the rick-rolling guy) to Al Jarreau to Ozzy. I'm also fascinated by a capella groups like Rockapella and Take 6.

                                      Software Zen: delete this;

                                          I prefer quiet when coding. Debugging is a different matter. Then I start a Spotify "Daily Mix" of [Dave Alvin - "Beautiful City 'Cross The River" - YouTube](https://youtu.be/FMqm428H8cs) or Country featuring, [Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey (Audio) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/4zAThXFOy2c) [Brooks & Dunn - That Ain't No Way To Go (Official Video) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/BjbhpRPSGQo) And when I want to kick it into high gear, [Godsmack - Voodoo (Official Music Video) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/9SSUQxGjZZ4) At the moment I'm playing [Old Dominion - Paint the Grass Green (Audio) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/DZbsRj-m2cI) You get the picture.

                                          Cheers, Mike Fidler "I intend to live forever - so far, so good." Steven Wright "I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met." Also Steven Wright "I'm addicted to placebos. I could quit, but it wouldn't matter." Steven Wright yet again.
