Final Fantasy - take a listen.
Not the music from the game Final Fantasy but the band? Final Fantasy or probably more correctly Owen Pallett . Love the simplicity of his music helps me chill out when having a stressful day. If you recognise the sound it might be down to his work with Arcade Fire, another favourite of mine.
Quite unusually I across his music while listening to LiveDrive, far and away the most useful radio programme I have ever listened to in Dublin. I have the misfortune to commute during rush hour in Dublin, takes me at least 70 mins to drive 10 miles and without Sarah & crew in the morning and John & friends in the evening I would be stuck in traffic for so much longer. Good accurate traffic reports with great range of music makes it an enjoyable commute. Public Service broadcasting at its best!
LiveDrive is broadcast by Dublin CIty FM. Sarah also has a music blog for her Critical Junctions section here
Anyways, direct from YouTube, the song This is the dream of Win and Regine. Enjoy
Music I listen to while coding
In my real life, while I actually have to design and code for a living (C# mainly) I tend to spend quite an amount of time stuck in meetings which leaves precious little time to get real work done.
So when I do manage to grab a few hours of peace and quiet, I stick the headphones on and tune out the world around me and get down to coding.
At different times and indeed different types of coding I listen to different types of music. At the moment we have some difficult and time sensitive issues to resolve so we have an agile project underway, not quite eXtreme Programming more like scrum. The music I’m listening to now is more quiet, contemplative, indeed it is mostly classical.
At this precise time it is Charles Camilleri: Concertino No.1 For Clarinet and Strings on ClassicFM but will switch to a Bach or maybe Rachmaninov CD after this. Also find I’m revisiting Jean Michelle Jarre, Enya and even some Enigma. This afternoon looks like some boring batch file editing and discovery so will probably break out some rock, starting with Nirvana & U2, then move on to Usher and the Kooks.
Come to think of it I need to replace my headphones! Need a new set of closed ears, my current SeinnHeisers are getting a little battered and worn.
