Perfect music that is able to settle into the background when you want to focus and then is almost euphoric when they are hitting a climax in the jam and you are being really productive. Today is Billy Strings - Live Vol.1 but I have listened to Goose and Grateful Dead sets on youtube in the past. Great thing to integrate into your workflow when its getting nicer outside.

adding onto this with recommending king gizzard as good background music as well 👀 especially their live albums which get super jammy

i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andré 3000’s ‘new blue sun’ has been a haven for me since its release.
the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply can’t measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :’)
when the talking heads over at headspace just can’t cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^
here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse:
• brian eno — ’music for airports’
• hiroshi yoshimura — ‘music for nine post cards‘
• adrianne lenker — ‘instrumentals’
• floating points & pharoah sanders — ‘promises’
i should do a playlist of these…

i loved these at school and now at my job when i have to dive into spreadsheets and research i like to have them playing, and if i’m at home i usually burn a complementary candle. also when i read fiction books i sometimes like to listen to one of these in the background with a vibe matching the book
i also like the ones that don’t have jazz and are just background sound without music. also there’s some channels that do book or movie themed ones like this one that has studio ghibli background ambience videos

Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
