Personally work in IT, mostly fixing server and infrastructure. Big fan of listening to ambiance music while working: the kind of music and sounds that make you forget that you’re listening to it, to me, that’s the perfect kind of working music. Otherwise I will listen to game and movie soundtracks from Lotr, Star Wars, Ghilbi, Harry Potter etc… I used to be all into lofi, but need a break from it now.

Anyways, please share your favorite music to listen to while working, and let us know what you work as too! More fun to see how the profession match with music taste.

Have a nice rest of your day 🌻

    About 90 seconds of alt rock, then someone will get my attention to ask a question, I’ll take my headphones off, then sit for three hours with them on my neck until I remember to put them on again.

    I cycle through genres every month or so. For a while it had been ska, now I’m in a funk mood. March is all Irish music, then maybe some death metal before I switch to deep classic rock cuts and live shows.

    If I need to do any thinking at all - complete silence
    If I do not need to do any thinking - edutainment podcasts, mostly space stuff (Universe Today, Astronomy Cast, etc.)

    I listen to live sets from a bunch of different genres usually. The recommendations on my music-only YouTube account at work are incredible.

    Dijon - Absolutely has been a frequent play lately

      My brain thought Mando-pop was some sort of weird take on the music from the Mandalorian (often referred to as Mando).

    Maybe try some post-rock. It’s usually just instrumental and often crosses almost to ambient. Bands like God is an astronaut, Mogwai, Hammock, Sigur Ros, Mono, Red Sparowes, etc.
