I listen to french house or chilled out trance when I'm writing code. I didn't read the article, but I definitely notice that rhythmic lock-in that comes with doing that.
My guys give me shit about it sometimes because I guess I like to rock my shoulders to the music, I don't ever notice it but they call it "catjamming".
Rhythm is a constant in all organic life, I think it plays a very strong role in all of our psychology. I've psyched myself out in chess games by making two fast moves in a row, my whole mental atmosphere blows up and all the shapes and patterns melt into noise and craziness.
At least a zillion times I've been working on some troublesome code and my phone goes and instantly just disconnected from that thought.
Sometimes DJ's throw in abrupt breaks or adlibs, that irks me.
It's all rhythmic, it's just that not all rhythms are measured in simple beats. I have rhythms through the seasons, through a quarter, through a week of inspections or audits, I have a rhythm for when stress in general.
Idk what I'm talking about. I'll read the article now.
- lemonberry 8y agoWould love some recommendations of things I can find on Youtube. I listen to Youtube Red often while working. Anything I can get there would be great. Thanks!
- damontal 8y agoNot dub, more rhythmic ambient. You can watch them as they twist the knobs too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FMYxmKmwWE&list=PLRIqx9nMN9wA7iQ89SPdEC8V4Frwy9yyf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FMYxmKmwWE&list=PLRIqx9nMN9...

- lemonberry 8y agoGreat, thank you.
- jeffhorton 8y agoA nice 8 hour mix with no odd breaks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk26FUe38y0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk26FUe38y0
- jrq 8y agoHere is a good mix of you're looking for an intro to French house. It's a lot of old French classics. https://youtu.be/q1osOsxMEkE https://youtu.be/q1osOsxMEkE Some search terms also might be "future funk", "nu disco", "funky house/ disco house" etc. These are different spins on the genre. I particularly like those 24/7 YouTube radio stations because they usually just Crossfade between songs with minimal nonsense. Idk much about trance, I usually type something like "study trance mix" and just pick one. Progressive house also might fit your bill if you want more best to your sound but less vocals. Sorry if this isn't helpful. I don't have a big playlist to share with you, I'm not nearly that organized!
- lemonberry 8y agoNo, that's really helpful, thank you. I don't know much about the different genres so having someone point me in any direction is good. Much appreciated.
