Is this why i can focus on coding so much better when listening to psytrance/goa?

[edvald]

I can recommend dub techno for coding, works a treat for me at least. Nice and steady, relatively fast tempo but not too aggressive or intrusive. And crucially, no lyrics, which I find distracting when coding or writing.

I prefer classical music for this. Not "Flight of the bumblebee" type stuff, more like Adagio for Strings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450

I’ve always thought it was funny how the two situations for listening to edm were so different:

- alone doing intensely focused work

- in a huge crowd dancing and definitely NOT doing work

[bradly]

Yes. The paper found 2.4 Hz frequencies to be the secret sauce which is 144 BPM and in pystrance/goa range. I would guess that is common freq range for lfos and modulations as well.

I do the same. It is strange how psytrance/goa helps as external noise to drown out other distractions and so focus can be rationed.

I've found a bit of caffeine and some Astral Projection ideal for this. Care to share any favorite artists?

Not an artist per se but the app Endel is this continuous generated music with different "scenarios" for... well... different scenarios. IMO the full continuity is a game changer for focus.
