Perfect opportunity to point out that there is a 23x slowed down version of Brian Enos Windows 95 startup sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNIfbdi41ho

I bought Bang On A Can's version soon after it was released in 97, and it remains one of my favourite pieces of music to code to. For reasons that I can't adequately explain I prefer it to the (itself wonderful) original.

Deconstructing Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music for Airports:

It's a must-read! It has analysis of all Eno's tape loops and an interactive note randomizer. Mentioned in the article's related content but it's worth an extra shout.

Fun to play around with for anyone who likes the album or ambient music in general.

Well I know what I’m listening to at work tomorrow. Wonder if this is going to make my code happier or sadder.

Also now wondering if there’s any research on how music affects (cognitive) performance.

I heard of a study many years ago that concluded that listening to music you like made you drive your car a bit faster, regardless of the pace of your preferred music. Not sure that translates to cognitive performance, but might suggest listening to music at the gym is useful.

Your code will no longer be afraid of crashing.

If you like Brian Eno's music, you might enjoy Hiroshi Yoshimura. Wet Land is one of my favorite albums of all time.

For those who find this finishes all too quickly, before it really gets started, here's Igor Levit's performance of Satie's Vexations

Interesting bit there about music for facing mortality. An ambient classic from that same era is Steve Roach “Structures from Silence”. He had an NDE and that music is what he heard during.

> NDE

Near-death experience. For those (like me) unfamiliar with the acronym.

I'm glad to see that someone finally got the hang of Thursdays. I never could.
