listening to this on public transit or on my walk to work or when I get home from work or when I’m reading fiction or when I want to listen to some sounds and some beats Exactly the right sonic texture to overlay with ambient city noises + also happens to trigger my hyperfocus

soundtracking your morning stretches

i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andré 3000’s ‘new blue sun’ has been a haven for me since its release. the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply can’t measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :’) when the talking heads over at headspace just can’t cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^ here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse: • brian eno — ’music for airports’ • hiroshi yoshimura — ‘music for nine post cards‘ • adrianne lenker — ‘instrumentals’ • floating points & pharoah sanders — ‘promises’ i should do a playlist of these…

I completely agree with you i can’t be productive while listening to music unless I’m just writing

For a lot of these like the driving/walking/train can ones I also like to play them in my field of view and keep my eyes trained on them while I work it really helps me lock in… * Miracle Forest ASMR ambience * Driving in rain * Walking in the rain in Boston, MA with binaural rain on umbrella sounds * Train cab ride videos (any of them) * Sometimes if I’m having a really tough time focusing I will play this awful Muzak-core video in the Christmas season it’s so flatly unenjoyable as music that it helps me shut off my brain and do what I need to do * Brown noise
