study/paper writing music?

**sharpie** · 02-28-2007, 02:39 AM

I am writing a paper on women in the 16th and 17th centuries......

so I am instead diverting my attention: what do you listen to relax/think/study/write?

I am listening to Matisyahu, California Guitar Trio, James Blunt really softly so I can think....it isn't helping

NIN, metallica, pearl jam, nirvana.... all great study tunes......

what the hell are you studying that you have to write such a boring paper?

I've listened to all sorts of junk while studying.
I prefer instrumental stuff.

Buckethead - Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell (This is pretty heavy, might be too distracting for most)
Michael Hedges - Ariel Boundaries (Killer acoustic guitar melodies) Any other albums works, too.
George Winston - December (Piano goodness)
Converge - Jane Doe (non-instrumental, very insane)
Soundtrack to The Matrix III
Robin Trower - Bridge Of Sighs (blues rock)
I've got more. I all really just depends on what I feel like not listening to.

If my computer is handy, I often use winamp to connect to some of the techno/trance stations they have. It's not my favorite stuff, but it's just something going on that doesn't really grab my attention.

We also had a cool station on the radio that played sounds of the ocean late at night. I taped a few to play whenever.

I usually listen to classical when studying. Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Handel, etc. If I listen to anything too upbeat, it makes me daydream about my Jeep. If I listen to nature cd's with crickets chirping, rain dripping, waves crashing, or whales humping, it makes me sleepy. Classical is a nice medium.
