Psytrance is ideal. Designed for dancing yourself into a trance, perfect for energetic flow state concentration, like studying.
Instrumental heavy metal.
breakcore (dnb), maidcore (progressive instrumental metal) or jazz fusion
Chillstep or lofi for focus.
Sublime and the like for cleaning.
Selected Ambient Works
90s electronic, Autechre
Incunabula, their debut album as Autechre, is also fantastic:
I love 90s electronic for concentration. But I’ve gotten into Tycho recently.
The first Sims game soundtrack
video game music is designed to pump you up without breaking your concentration.
almost anything with lyrics in it is a no go for me if my goal is to have background music to relax/study to. also lofi.
trance and sextrance
like everyday actuallywell not for concentration, but my ambient music is a mix of lemon demon and rain world
Usually none, sometimes classical music, Viennese Classic especially
Same, none of that low-brow Bratislava Classic, pee-yooo
It’s really hard to time it just right but the theme to Jeopardy 👍
Get it wrong and it’ll really surprise you!
