Recently my work playlist have been Philip Glass. The repeating structure of his work makes it unobtrusive, and he wrote such large quantity of music, that there is always more. Came to explore his music only after seeing a recent article on him, in HN.
- devilduck 5y agoGood choice. See also: Steve Reich
- ofou 5y agoGreat recommendation! Never heard of him before!
- nerdponx 5y agoIt's interesting, because I agree that stuff like this is good work music, but it's not something I would ever put on for normal listening.
- yojo 5y agoBoth Peals albums are really solid for focus: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eOmGaF7cvbx9hw6rgBqYO https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eOmGaF7cvbx9hw6rgBqYO Also Continuous Portrait: https://open.spotify.com/album/51QtuRQyWyidnzs3ZNVue7 https://open.spotify.com/album/51QtuRQyWyidnzs3ZNVue7 And the Fez soundtrack: https://open.spotify.com/album/6QtCv5E76lUVbXfUFZxLuH https://open.spotify.com/album/6QtCv5E76lUVbXfUFZxLuH Going back further, some electronic instrumental is also good, Boards of Canada, the first Mum album (yesterday was dramatic, today is okay), Hiroshi Yoshimura, Mort Garson There were also a bunch of 90s/2000/ instrumental post rock acts like Do Make Say Think, Explosions in the Sky, Tortoise, Fridge, etc that can be good work music.
