music for work December 30, 2014
Discovered a lot of music "for work" recently, which for me means rhythmic but still laid back, and little or no vocals. THUS, a lazyweb-friendly YouTube playlist was born.
Ingredients (may contain traces of inconsistencies and gravely missing additions, suggestions and corrections welcome!):
- Electronic
- The ever-dedicated mixes of Music for programming.
- Kruder & Dorfmeister - The K+D Sessions. Fantastic mix.
- Apparat - The whole discography, but especially Silizium and Krieg und Frieden. Both mix deliciously electronic and violin/cello.
- Boards of Canada
- Ez3kiel, especially Naphtaline
- Music for real airports - darker alternative take on Eno's classic.
- Instrumental
- Beastie boys groovy instrumentals: The Mix-up, The in sound from way out.
- The cinematic orchestra. Discovered via their soundtrack for Man with a movie camera.
- Pawa up first, great stuff.
- Colin Stetson, saxophone freak.
- A winged victory for the sullen, purrrrrrrr.
- Piano piano piano.
- Liszt
- Rachmaninov
- Satie
- Gonzales (Solo Piano, Solo Piano II), Satie-esque.
- Aufgang
- Maxence Cyrin, covers of popular pop/rock/whatever pieces.
- Classic guitarrr.
- Julian Bream has a great play: strong technically, but able let room for emotions and deviations from the part.
- Narciso Yepes, more technical.
- HN has more including podcasts, see for yourself.
Thanks Rufin for the electro contributions :)
