Music I Listen To
Music is just another tool in my work. Sometimes it should calm me down, sometimes add weight. Below are four sets I play most often. Different genres, different vibes, zero guilty pleasures.
1. Jazz / Glitch / Electronics
A mix of classic jazz with electronics and experimentation. Good when I need something more complex than silence, but less engaging than vocals. Lots of dirt, crackle, and broken rhythms.
2. IDM / Mechanics
IDM (Intelligent Dance Music). Mathematical, precise, often cold. Great for analytical work and wireframing. Lots of synthetic sounds and abstract structures. It puts the mind in order.
3. Trap / Japan / Bass
A heavier, more aggressive set. Japanese trap, heavy beats, and distorted bass. A purely "functional" playlist - I turn it on when energy drops and I need a quick boost. It is loud and dense.
4. Cardio / BPM
Simple case - a running list. No slow tracks, only steady, fast tempo. It has to keep the rhythm and not get in the way of training. Pure mechanics.
