Code's eclectic music pick of the day:

Day 7 of #codingmusic. Kosmischer Läufer has a new album this month, "The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83 Volume Five" that works well for my coding flow. Here is Nordlicht. (side note: I hear an faint echo of the Lost in Space season 3 theme phrase here at several points, so... nostalgia)

Day 6 of #codingmusic. On high energy days, or days when truly in 'the zone', a switch to something high energy (where beats are ok, but still, no vocals for me). Something djenty, heavy, maybe complex rhythmically. Here is Origin by Anup Sastry.

Day 5 of #codingmusic. Vangelis is special to me. Something about his phrasing is instantly recognizable. When he died last May, it hit me pretty hard, even though I knew him only through a love of his music (that Klaus Schulze had passed only a month earlier was like a double-whammy to my musical world). His mostly acoustic album Nocturne is beautiful, and great for coding day. Here is Mythodea - Movement 9

(hint: for me, the answer is "yes, that is extremely fascinating")

Day 4 of #codingmusic. When I am in a blue funk (often) but still need to do work, nostalgic tracks provide comfort and allow my brain to focus on code instead. This is an album I've loved since it was first released. Best with headphones, but always hauntingly somber (to match my mood).

Joy. Music.

Day 3 of #codingmusic. There are several soundtrack albums that make for good music for coders. Here is a track from one of my favorite soundtrack albums, Day One by Hans Zimmer.

If you are at all geeky or technical and you haven't heard of "windytan" or the blog "absorptions" then you are in for a treat. It's easy to lose several hours reading about the signals explorations of Oona Räisänen. Check the website at https://www.windytan.com (and also the YT channel). Great stuff!

Day 2 of #codingmusic. As mentioned, I can't do drones (music). Brian Eno is one of very few artists I've found who can create ambient music that still has enough structure to engage the part of my brain that helps with coding Plus, the song becomes memorable on its own, instead of existing only as background hummm. The entire album "Apollo" is excellent for concentration or meditation. Here is Under Stars:

Seems that there are many coders and tech people here, so this week I want to focus on #codingmusic. Many devs I know seem to prefer some form of EDM, trance, dub or similar. Maybe mixed with some rap. For coding, I prefer no vocals, no overheavy beats, but definite structure. Math is good. (no drones). Share what YOU enjoy for coding with the tag above. Let's find new stuff!

Here's Glassworks I. Opening
