http://fenxy.com/notes/ Fenxy Thread: Favourite coding music?? en Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:41:21 +0000 http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-114793 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:54:44 Zao 114793 <p>Anything rock, hard rock, metal. My main bands/people: Led Zeppelin, Metalica, Aerosmith and Ozzy. I also like french electronica aka the band "Danger". </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-114789 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:16:16 archangelchuck 114789 <p>Anything heavy, fast, and intense (usually Scandinavian metal bands). </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-105434 Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:49:26 scoblitz 105434 <p>It definitely depends on my mood and what I am working on. New work requires mellow stuff to inspire while maintenance work or deadlines require something heavier.</p> <p>Whatever the case, it has to be non-stop and there can't be any duds - nothing breaks a good working pattern more than a jarringly bad song.</p> <p>And good headphones are a must!</p> <p>SB </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-104945 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:15:58 threefour 104945 <p>If there's a deadline on the horizon then drum and bass, it gets my fingers working quicker! But for more general times anything on the <a href="http://www.ninjatune.net/home/">Ninja Tune</a> label my current favorite is <a href="http://www.ninjatune.net/ninja/release.php?id=1228">DK and DJ Food - Now listen again</a>. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-92432 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 16:26:44 PRDesign 92432 <p>The kind of tracks at WA007.com, hip-hop (Nas, Guru/Gangstarr/Big L) and also Ricky Gervais' podcasts. So funny. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-92430 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 15:57:05 azcazandco 92430 <p>Wow! Quite a diverse selection there and I am quite surprised at the amount of classical in there. I have to admit to finding a classical guitar station on itunes recently that I have found to be quite good for coding to. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86906 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 22:03:54 coolbox 86906 <p>When i am coding i like to make sure that my playlist is always completely random to keep me guessing. House to Classical, Jazz to Drum and Bass. Anything goes with me so long as i dont have to sit back and thing "this is boring me". </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86298 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 21:58:55 Gomeler 86298 <p>The few times I'm hacking out code I typically listen to hip hop or alternative rock, depending on the time of day. The neighbors get pissed when I Crank That Soulja Boy at 4am. Don't know why I'm stuck on this song, think it's the tin drums in the background. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86288 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:59:54 Ollie 86288 <p>Preferably silence, but if I am in the mood for some 'tunes', Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Dvorak, maybe Vivaldi - it has to be something big and inspirational. I don't do in-between very well, I find it distracting. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86273 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:22:42 Scrivs 86273 <p>Vivaldi. Zones me out and puts the outside world behind me. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86267 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:08:51 Ozone42 86267 <p>Instrumental, guitar, piano, or techno of some variety (usually trance) </p> <p>I like some Yasunori Mitsuda too. Sometimes jRock, B'z preferrably. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86260 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 19:34:52 peroty 86260 <p>NIN - specifically the instrumentals.<br /> Blue Man Group, Massive Attack, Sigur Ros.<br /> <a href="http://deathboy.co.uk">Deathboy</a> has a HUGE mp3 archive available for free at his site and there's some real gems in there. Good long instrumental grooves. He's a coder as well so maybe there's a coincidence. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86240 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 18:33:08 Sinzen 86240 <p>It's progressive while I work on the project. Chillout and electronica stuff at first then once I'm in the groove a little modern rock and old school hip hop usually keeps me in the groove. Artists (to name a few): Amon Tobin, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Herbalizer, Roni Size, NIN. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86233 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 18:04:40 JPhill 86233 <blockquote><p>Its' all about what your coding!</p></blockquote> <p>I definitely agree. Sometimes when I'm starting out on a stylesheet I'll listen to something really chill and laid back (instrumentals) so I can focus and get a good start. Then when I'm on a roll and start banging out code the pace of the music gets faster. It's funny but essential in my workflow. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86226 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:48:47 talkaboutdesign 86226 <p>Death Metal! No i'm just kidding! I like something upbeat, trance works, maybe deep house, hip hop works as well. Its' all about what your coding! </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86225 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:43:27 stormyone 86225 <p>Usually a mix of Rick Astley and George Michael. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86223 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:34:51 Griffith 86223 <p>Japanese pop/rock music, or any new age type of music. If I understand and lose myself in the lyrics of a song I find it much harder to concentrate.</p> <p>With this said, I usually listen to Utada Hikaru, YUI, random anime intros/endings music, Ludovico Einaudi... </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86222 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:32:24 hthth 86222 <p>Debussy, Vangelis — smooth music. Something that doesn't demand my attention. Usually code in silence though. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86204 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 16:01:39 JPhill 86204 <p>I like hip hop instrumentals and deep house. </p> http://fenxy.com/music/notes/7557/p/1/#response-86198 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:17:52 azcazandco 86198 <p>What is your favourite coding music?</p> <p>Right now I am air guitaring to some Iron Maiden / Metallica and smoke is coming off my fingers... </p>
