Lofi is great, I'm a particular big fan of Nourish and Ghibli-inspired stations. Other go-tos include:

  • Anything by Bach (with an emphasis on organ/harpsichord fugues/inventions/sinfonias)
  • Mozart and Beethoven piano concertos
  • This 1h20m-long loop of one of my favorite Chrono Trigger pieces, in a lofi mix with rain in the background: youtube.com/watch?v=5RfqB76eHTQ
  • Sleeping At Last, for a dose of therapy
  • Soundtracks, particularly a variety of Zimmer (Interstellar, Dune), M83 (Oblivion), Daft Punk (Tron: Legacy)

I don't normally listen to music while doing anything, but recently I've been listening to Mac Miller (RIP) while doing random computer-related things. If I do choose to listen to music specifically while I study, it'll probably be something classical.

Classical music is also a great choice for studying; it's often soothing and can help with concentration.
