lofi hip hop seems to work pretty well, but there usually are three stages:
- I don't get into the groove despite the music
- Something clicks and I get into the groove
- I'm so deeply in the groove that even lofi hip hop bothers me, so I turn it off and go ham
Also I find it funny that lofi hip hop has an alternate title of "beats to relax/study to"--I used to listen to it while studying in college, but now I use it for working on personal projects or at work.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoThe Jazz Vibes playlist on Spotify does it for me. Really anything without lyrics. Talking has a way of hijacking the attention centers in my brain.
- actionfromafar 4y agoIf I know the lyrics super well and it's something kind of sad, it works for me.
- hnick 4y agoLofi-girl helps me too, it's completely out of my traditional musical tastes but there's something in it that makes me start working. I also have to turn it off eventually though, I find I need to revert to silence after a while for some reason. And if I notice a beat or tune I've heard before, it can rip me out of concentration.
- Lockyy 4y agoThe sudden need for silence after needing the audio is such a distinct mood. Interesting that it hits other people. I feel like it’s related to once I hit the point where I’m really into what I’m working on.
- hnick 4y agoYes it's hard to say. Sometimes it's when I feel like it's a natural time for a break, but also maybe whatever it is (that the audio tickles in my brain) becomes fatigued or used up. Either way the silence gives a great feeling of relief. I sleep with a noise generator in my room and can't really do without it (tiny noises fill me with adrenaline at night) but when I wake up and turn it off my body loves me for returning the silence.
