What are you listening to when you work?

I usually listen to guitar or piano music. These music are relaxing and allow me focusing on the code.

A carefully curated playlist of songs that I grew over years.

A friend of mine listens to classic jazz music. Very soothing and relaxing while working. As for me, I listen to light rock music, mostly 80s-90s music. Keeps me thinking about the good old days, nostalgia. It also allows me to concentrate on my tasks.

Depending the current task: when I need to have a huge focus, I listen to no-lyrics music. Sometimes jazz, mathrock, or movies soundtrack!

Night core works fine for me and couple of my teams mates also listen to it :)

I can't listen to anything with lyrics, it's too distracting. I like ambient and jazz but also Japanese drone / minimalist artists like Sawako (my fav) and Seki Takashi.

Depending on the task I am working on and my mood! However, prefer music without lyrics :)

I listen to 80s-90s music. Mostly goth bands from the 80s, sprinkled with some Grimes and Rico Nasty. MSI for those hard work days.

I usually listen to talk shows on NPR while I work. I find that the kind of music I listen to, when I do, needs to fit the emotional mood of the piece on which I am working. So if the piece is somber the music can’t be light and lively and vice versa.

I love questions like these, where anyone can answer and it's a bit fun. I don't listen to anything, but that's mostly because I'm worried I'm going to miss a notification sound or something haha. If I'm less anxious about it, then I'll put on some indie punk or a relaxing playlist from Spotify. If it's a really light day, then I might even put on a show I've been meaning to watch in the background.

Lofi beats to chill, game, study, and chill to 😅

If I know the trip will be long, then I listen to audiobooks. if not, then podcasts or music

Joe Satriani! His guitar effects and melodies are just awesome.

I listen to chill-out music.
