I have a playlist called Then Suddenly, it's a collection of epic music that starts off chill and suddenly gets epic. The epicness helps my brain refocus to "shits getting serious" mode for when I get distracted ๐Ÿค

The jack hammerโ€ฆ. Thatโ€™s not a band. Itโ€™s an actual jack hammer.

reply

You just run a jack hammer while you work?

reply

The jack hammer is my work. And the pick. And the shovel. Sometimes the tipper cart. Earplugs are required but I really wish they were headphones lol

reply

There's a business idea. Noise cancelling so good you can listen to tunes while you're jackhammering.

I've never used a jack hammer. What is your line of work called? Paver? Masoner?

reply

About 130 decibels is normal so it would need to be next level metal to cut through that!

Iโ€™m a semi-skilled contractor and mainly help out on small residential projects job-to-job.

I almost exclusively listen to prog rock (e.g. this and this) and prog metal (e.g. this and this). I cannot stand the endless repetition in most genres (e.g. 20 seconds of melody/harmony/rhythm repeated to make a 3 minute song); most prog music is substantially less repetitive than most genres.

I find new prog music through Wikipedia and ProgArchives. Usually the best prog albums (yes albums, not just individual songs) have the highest rating and listenership. Ordinary people do have a sense for good music, if only they were given the opportunity to hear it.

super interesting, thank you for sharing! the first "this" you linked is awesome, though i'd prefer that for a day off ๐Ÿ„ versus working soundtrack ;)

to each their own!

reply

Instrumental jazz ballads (Miles Davis, Bill Evans), lofi hip-hop mix channels on YT, Mozart, Strauss, Liszt, Mahler, instrumental prog

news usually on youtube

reply

No music, podcasts.

reply

I like jazz but I find that it distracts me too much. Classical music that I've not heard before at a low volume seems to work well for me.

reply

You should try Gustav Mahler - strangest of the strange!

reply

I'll have to check him out, but if its too weird that is also very distracting

reply

Symph. no. 8 will blow You away. It had the same effect on me when I heard John Coltrane for the first time.

I prefer listening to music without any lyrics when working

If I need to focus, I prefer opera, otherwise a mash of rap/hip-hop, folk, disco, rock, blues, funk, metal, whatever fits the mood!

Have a good day too!

Lofi from Chillhop Music. Good stuff. https://youtube.com/@ChillhopMusic

reply

<3 nogood. I listen to it over dinner. But for work, I let music.youtube.com randomise jazz tracks.

Used to listen to mostly metal on headphones when worked at fiat office job, now working for Bitcoin at home feels less need for a music and headphones all the time, it's more relaxing by default.
