Classical Music
-
Just sitting down at 1am with my headfones on, listening to some Vivaldi and Bach... This music just makes my brain come alive when programming. I've no idea why but stuff just seems clearer. I'm writing more code, better and faster then I would in a normal day in work... I find that I can't concentrate on code as much as I should when I listen to more modern music... well, anything with lyrics really. I find myself listening to the words of the song rather than actually thinking about what I'm doing. That doesn't happen with classical music. Anybody else do this or am I just a freak? (btw, I know that I'm probably too "young" to be listening to classical music, never mind listening to it while coding). Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Reading: Code Complete 2ed[^] by Steve McConnell

Ah.. I wasn't being serious! ;P I'm starting to get :zzz: now so I might need to put on soemthing a little louder and more stimulating than Summer Adagio by Vivaldi.. Any suggestions? Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Reading: Code Complete 2ed[^] by Steve McConnell

I listen to my first complete classical album right after listening to Grand Funk Railroad in 1972...Dec 11th, 1972 to be exact. Been an exclectic taste mane ever since. In fact, I just returned from Borders after purchasing Good Charlotte and Eminem. Yup, I'm twisted, but in a kind of good, cover all bases way. Best, Jerry

We all have our own styles. :) Mary Youngblood helps me program in style and with speed.. :) and yes, she is a musician, not a distraction. ;P _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh. (Japanese Proverb)

Beetoven's 5th Symphony should wake you up. Also, check out Mozart's Marriage of Figaro, as well as Carmina Burana's O' Fortuna. Excellent upbeat classical music.

Yeah. Figaro should keep me awake. Now I need to find it. I have it here somewhere. :doh: Regards, Brian Dela :-) Now Reading: Code Complete 2ed[^] by Steve McConnell

It depends, some jazz, Modeski Martin & Wood in particular is too distracting for me to listen to while I code. Just about anything else from punk to rap to classical is just fine.

freak ;P For me, classsical music is either plain boring, or (as in the case of Bach) to complicated to have it as background. Music while coding works as noise filter. As with my cat: very easily startled by unknown/peaky noises, she liked to rest beside my (loudly hummin) old PC, because it filters out all the stuff that makes her jump up.

Rock does the same for me but I just can't get into classical. Elaine (head banging fluffy tigress :cool: ) The tigress is here :-D

I don't know about coding, but there is one thing I could never imagine without the help of classical music... Bugs Bunny cartoons! Bugs rubbing Elmer Fudd's bald head during Barber of Seville is an all-time classic in my books.

Back when I was in school (20+ yrs ago), when I had to pull an all-nighter, the only thing that kept me awake (in addition to the coffee) was classical music. I remember one study session in particular. We had a boxed set of LP's entitled Bach Organ Favorites, played by E. Power Biggs. Headphones on and volume cranked. I remember the music a lot better than I remember the subject (I think it was Engineering Statics, or maybe Dynamics). The test the next day went a lot better than I had any reason to expect, after only a couple of hours of sleep.
