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 :)
