I went through a period of listening to zelda soundtracks + rain/storm sounds for hours every day at work. It was very calming and there wasn't much to focus on, which let me focus on my work. Video game soundtracks in general can be excellent programming music because they can be looped infinitely and are designed to be in the background of some other task.
- datene 4y agoZelda & Chill by GameChops is a good one. GameChops has a lot of other lo-fi video game soundtrack covers that are great for programming, in my experience
- sinkensabe 4y agoI agree! I often listen to music from World of warcraft when coding. I get in a similar grinding mindset I had when I played back in the days. Helps me focus a lot! This is a nice channel for wow music: https://www.youtube.com/c/Meisio https://www.youtube.com/c/Meisio
- NobodyNada 4y agoMy goto right now is https://www.twitch.tv/sgqfmfunk https://www.twitch.tv/sgqfmfunk, which streams video game OSTs from the 80's and 90's -- mostly relatively obscure games, including a lot of music from consoles/home computers that used Yamaha's FM chips.
- monkey_monkey 4y agoThe FTL:Faster Than Light soundtrack by Ben Prunty is what I've been using for the last few years.
- Tarsul 4y agoAt the same time? Anyway, I listed to https://rainwave.cc https://rainwave.cc all the time. Video game music with 5 different channels (no ads!). It's great (although there are a few songs with vocals, which I don't like. Not on the chiptune channel though ;)).
- robscallsign 4y agoInteresting! One of my goto's for programming is the soundtrack from the game LA Noire, with rain/storm sounds in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiGKxCAg_0o&list=PL0B80EA34DA09E5C4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiGKxCAg_0o&list=PL0B80EA34D... https://rainymood.com/ https://rainymood.com/
