What do you listen to while you work?

I'm sitting here listening to Brown Eyed Girl, November Rain, Poison (Bel Biv Devoe), Dream On and Let it Be.... just to name a few.

What's your best working music?

If I do have music on when I work, which is rare, it's Pink Floyd. I don't mind sound or music as long as it is in the background. If I listen to music with headphones on, I catch myself paying more attention to the tunes than working. I don't hear anything anyway when I'm concentrated and focused on something, so I usually don't bother with music.

Now if I'm cooking and doing housework, or in the car, the music is always on loud. Then it's a wide range of things I'll listen to. Sting, AC/DC, Ozzy, Elton John, Rap, Dance...

The artist formerly known as Prince who is now known as Prince again?

didn't he change his name to a symbol, because his name "Prince" was owned under contract to his recording label?

I heard he just didn't want them to own his stuff anymore, so to not break the contract, he just changed his name.

In 2000, the contract was done... so he was allowed to change it back.

Weird stuff.

Anyway, classical music is fine, I have some too... in fact, I just downloaded Flight of the Bumble Bee cause it always makes me laugh (for some strange reason).

Magnus, you're one hardcore mofo ;)

house music or hiphop when working

Bruno Dickman

02-24-2003, 12:38 PM

I listen to a lot of PsyTrance - 140 to 148 Beats per minute, fast melodies and layered FX... sounds coming and going everywhere, non stop :)

If you want to dig some of that stuff, look for:

ASTRIX (some good songs: visions, noise freak, kali)

GMS (some good songs: SpliffPolitics, At the End of the Rainbow)

Alien Project (some good songs: DJ Where are you, One God, DNA)

Sesto Sento (some good songs: Spank to Tor, Run on Green)

Cyber Cartel (some good songs: Space Embargo, Anno Domini)

Cosmosis (some good songs: Spores from Space)

1200 Mics (some good songs: LSD, Ecstasy)

Zorba (some good songs: The Rush, Into and thru the Vortex)

Skazi (some good songs: Passion, Cost me, Storm)

Well, basically that it! I hope you people download that stff - you might just fall in love with the style :)

Take care and Best Regards,

Bruno Dickman

I don't listen to much musicat work now that I no longer work at home, but when I do, it's usually music with some energy... Tomahawk, Fantomas, The Melvins, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, just to name a few...

I shoutcast a feed of PINK FLOYD 24/7 for any floyd fans here :

http://www.hungrytgp.com/FLOYD.pls

PINK FLOYD is very relaxing music to work to ...

:cool:

StuartD

02-24-2003, 02:19 PM

Bruno, did you know that the world record holder for fastest song (beats per minute) is Moby....

I'll give you a hint how fast it was.... the song is called "1000 beats per minute"

HungryMan, what if 30 of us from this board all go and listen to your pink floyd stream all at once? Won't that eat up a lot of bandwidth?

Pink Floyd ownz by the way :D

Yo Adrian

02-24-2003, 02:40 PM

Most of the time I just cruise through a bunch of shoutcast streams....my fav to work to is probably groove salad - ambient trans stuff

Dude, XxXotic mixes some great music... you'd love it. He hooked me up with some of it a little while ago. He's an awesome DJ.

Do you all find that the music you listen to helps you work better? Or makes no difference?

Bruno Dickman

hunch :confused: :bonk: :confused: :bonk:

As for music, I also like soundtrack music. There are no lyrics to hook-up my auditive attention, and it is designed to elicit mood.

This is what I've been listening to for the last day or two

http://www.dfeynman.com/minia/

I tend to like to listen to the same ten-fifteen tunes over and over again for a day or two, then change.

Last week, I was in my Electric Light Orchestra mood. The one before, my David Bowie mood. Before that, Ennio Morricone.

My grey matter works in it's own mysterious way, it seems.

His timing is always off but that doesn't take away from him. he's by far one of the best hard/diva house producers ever and still throws down the sickest tracks all the time. Ever notice you rarely hear him beat match? He always mixes out of the breaks, cuz he knows he can't beat mix wirth a damn. I don't care though, he still rocks my world

Victor "price of love" Calderone? shit yeah, hex hector throws down too, not sure if you ever heard of robbie tronco from philly but that dude can throw down too (the guy who produced "walk for me") Only thing I miss about living on the east coast are the clubs/music. I'm in breakbeat hell down here (I loathe breakbeat worse then I hate country)

Word on the inside is that Jr. is going deaf/is partially deaf. He has two huge monitors in his booth as well as a a basstube (bassbin going into a plastic tube) at stomach level so he can "feel) where the beat is. If you have all that you should be able to mix spot on.....

XxXotic - would love to hear what you're up to - maybe you can send me over an mp3?

I DJ as well. :)

I just wanted to take a minute to thank Hungryman for the awesome Pink Floyd shoutcast... I've listened to it a few times while at home. It really kicks ass man :xthumbs:

That really helps with the productivity too when I have some good tunes to listen too.

Panky,

I'm the same way. I respect music too much, and if I have on music I like, my work suffers. When I'm working and decide that it's too quiet, I stream a techno/ambient station from shoutcast. When I'm in the car or dong housework, etc, I listen to pretty much everything.
