I think this topic may have come up before, but since it's been awhile, let's try it again.
Any playlist/song recommendations for playing go, studying, and/or otherwise enjoying life?

I've been enjoying synthwave music a lot recently, especially in a warm summer evening (like right now). It's something you can listen passively to, so it's great for studying (for me at least), and it brings in nostalgic vibes. I got sucked into it after watching Stranger Things and finding out about outrun. Currently listening to: FM-84 - Atlas |

I don't often listen to music while playing go, but when I do it's usually Bach. I have a soft spot for the mandolin, so I've been listening to a newish album by Edgar Meyer (bass), Yo-Yo Ma (cell), and Chris Thile (mandolin) called Bach Trios. New-to-me albums I've been listening to while working include Undercurrent by Sarah Jarosz and This Empty Northern Hemisphere by Gregory Alan Isakov. Young Mountain by This Will Destroy You is one I always return to while working/studying. I also discovered the Oh Hellos in the last year and have quite enjoyed them. |

I don't play with music. But I did an experiment: I played an online game listening to The Ramones, which was also in the game offer. (That a famous punk band, you heathen) Someone named FullMetal replied, and we played, so it was punk vs metal. I won, so, may I conclude it helps if you listen to loud music? One of my favourite bands is The Stranglers. They made songs titled like: No more heroes, Too many teardrops, Still life, Black and white, Threatened, (Have you got enough) Time, Outside Tokyo, Everybody loves you when you're dead, Burning up time, (blitz) 5 Minutes, Time to die, and even a song called Hey! Rise of the robots (1978), haha, how foretelling. One could make a nice go music playlist from these. Please note that I have very broad musical preferences. So for the classical music lovers I'd suggest Requiem by W.A. Mozart (also if you are not playing go). |

"Earth" by Jesper Kyd. This is my track when I'm motivated and getting things done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXmaNjuwdd8 |

Either my Spotify playlist or some hands up techno mix on Youtube - those are long enough that I don't have to interrupt my game to find a new track. |

My favourite band is Queens of the Stoneage. But it's not really the kind of music you can relax to, let alone concentrate in a game of go with. But 'Memories of Alhambra' and 'Capricho Arabe' by Francisco Tárrega never fail at getting me relaxed. I'm not sure if I would ever play a game of go to my best ability with music in the background, but you could try those if you are so inclined. |

yeah stonerrock is nice, but i prefer kyuss over qotsa when playing go. but it all depends on mood obviously. some traditional japanese ensembles also are excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZDBztK_MYE |

One recommendation that I have tried myself is to pick slow music with a tempo of around 60 beats per minute, i.e., 1 beat per second. Two pieces come to mind: Pachelbel's Canon and A Whiter Shade of Pale. The House of the Rising Sun has a good tempo, but is a little too raunchy for easy listening -- for me, anyway.
