This is awesome. I find myself so often wanting some sound just to give me a sense of flow while I work and music can very often be too disruptive (I guess it's too exciting sometimes and not constant enough). Rain is perfect!


Have you ever tried out some ambient? Music with lyrics and a lot of electronic beat-driven stuff can be too complex and distracting while I work, especially if the problem itself is complex. Ambient always seems to do the trick though!

Check out Tim Hecker and Jon Hopkins. Also Aphex Twin has a couple albums of ambient work that is great for coding.


I would like to add. Janus, Brian Eno, Bark Psychosis, Stars of the Lid, Steve Reich, and Steve Roach.
