Hi Sam! Thank you for doing the AMA this week! After all this talk of music, I have to ask... who are some of your favorite musical artists? And do you listen to music all day long throughout all of your work?
Personally I find it hard to listen to music and concentrate sometimes so I'm always interested in how others feel about it.
thanks for your interesting question and yes, I definitely listen to music pretty much 100% of the time I'm working/coding. Personally I find it helps me to concentrate and block out a lot of disturbances - although I'm very much aware that it doesn't work like that for everyone! I typically listen to electronic music with few or no lyrics (I find spoken word and singing more distracting than just sounds) or jazz.
In terms of favourite artists, there's a lot but up there I'd list Arovane, Apparat, Moderat, Kiasmos, Bicep, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, Eli & Fur and many others!
Thank you for this response! Electronic music is defiintely the only kind I could possibly listen to while in deep focus mode. I'm a huge fan of Aphex Twin as well š
