What are you listening to?
-
What usually helps is listening to some artists that are slightly different from what you're used to. If you listen to classical music and go straight to the blackest of black metal you'll probably think metal sucks. If you start listening to Nightwish first, for example, you'll probably don't find it half bad and your tastes start to shift. And from Nightwish you can move to harder metal bands. There are always bands who mix two or more genres that you'd probably like if you listen to either one genre and can get you accustomed to the other.

I'm curious: while working at the keyboard, do you listen to something? White noise, music, nature sounds? Dish.

When coding or researching, lyrics are often distracting, so I mostly go for anything purely instrumental: Chillhop, Lofi, etc.. If I'm in a lyrical mood, then songs in a language I don't understand are perfect, such as Japanese City Pop. So good...

I am not sure I could code with background music. I must admit I never tried. I only code as a hobby so production is at my pace. Former job in the hospital someone always interrupting while working with questions but that is what I got paid to do so not complaining. My house is semi-remote in Arizona. Half a mile down the paved road in front of my house the road turns to dirt. When I moved here in 1995 there were about 10 homes that direction. Today the count is about 20 homes. They are all in the $500,000.00 range and up. Across the street for 14 miles is Apache reservation. No homes nothing but old tall pine trees a few wild horses and a bear that likes to maul my trash container from time to time. No more than 20 cars go by the house in a day. While my office has a 5 ft wide by 4 ft tall window I enjoy the view from time to time. The 3 ft diameter Alligator juniper and 15 Pine that are about 50 ft tall in the front gravel (we do not have grass) do block the view a little. After years in an apartment beside the Interstate I do enjoy the solitude and quiet. If you what a peek at the area Google Maps Live Oak Drive Lakeside,AZ

Arizona you say? I'm near the Chandler mall and I can see some buildings at ASU from my desk. Also South Mountain and some great sunsets.

Greetings and Kind Regards In a previous time I listened to radio . I don't recall now if it was NPR news or my favorite local Classical station at the time but under the advice of Marie vos Savant I turned it off . I now find myself distracted w/o quiet . However I always plan on Fridays to listen to listener call in requests at WCPE as the requested pieces are the usual favorites but I always forget except this time as your post reminded me which is why I am listening to it now . Thanks for the reminder . Cheerio

At the moment, I'm enjoying the last of my precious silence: in under an hour, Herself will be home, and all I will hear is her oxygen machine, the TV on loud (as she's partly deaf), and herself screaming abuse at whatever show is on it.

Well according to the Pandora algorithm: Haunting vocals with a hard driving base line and screeching guitars with Rock and Roll and Blues Rock roots. Hmmm. Yeah that sounds about right when I think about it.

Been a long time since I saw you post, but then, I myself haven't been very active. How are you doing, all good?
Cheers, Vikram.
I'm OK. Past bunch of years, I was having hard time with few things. That's why I was inactive here too. Hope you're doing great!
