For upgrades, patching, P1 issues, anything high-stress I prefer classical - Corelli, Locatelli, Handel.

For coding I usually like electronica. I go back and forth between ambient stuff, like Koan or H.U.V.A Network, and vocal trance which has a pleasing, hypnotic aspect.

I've tried binaural beats as well, they're not awful but they're not my go-to. Spotify has a ton of these kind of 2-hour tracks. Rainstorms can be nice as well.




Psy-ambient has been my go-to as well for years (see username!). Anyone releasing music on Ultimae (run by Vincent Villius of the aforementioned H.U.V.A. Network) is a pretty good bet. All time favorites of mine are Solar Fields (also of aforementioned H.U.V.A. network) and Carbon Based Lifeforms, who also release music on Ultimae
