If you listen to anything but classical you are a hipster with no taste and should leave this board immediatly

>>7846952
nah

pauline oliveros sound collages
brian eno ambient albums (I've read hundreds and hundreds of pages while listening to music for airports)
phillip glass recordings

Stuff like Alice Boman, joy division, piano compositions (the gymnopedie's good), Anthony and The johnsons, Agnes Obel

Mostly songs that you can lower The volume and its like environment sound.

Rec me some IDM op

>>7846952
What kind of ambient IDM?

If I want background sound that doesn't distract me I usually put on some classic or minimal techno and deep house.

>>7846952
anything instrumental, especially jazz

Classical music is already the official genre of lit. everyone who says otherwise is from /mu/ and their opinion gets discarded immediately

>>7846952
Mostly Classical and Neo-classical with some ambient elements like Mahler, Satie, Gorecki, Max Richter, Ryuichi Sakamoto and others.
That sort of thing.
Also some jazz like Oscar Peterson or Chet Baker but not the wild stuff. If I listen to Charles Mingus I can't concentrate on the writing.

off yourselves

Ambient music in general. Especially Berlin School such as Floran Fricke, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Popol Vuh. Except for ambient I usually read to Stina Nordenstam, Philip Glass, and sometimes jazz when I'm in the right mood.

I really need to have music on while reading at home because of thin walls between the rooms at the student accommodation. Maybe I'm too sensitive for this type of living.

Very minimalist ambient or drone music always helps when reading for me.

Industrial Black Metal

I hope to god you are trolling. There is a reason we listen to objectively superior music you know

>>7850618
100% serious
classical music is a rightfully dead genre, just because you're too inexperienced to enjoy any other music doesn't mean other people can't

>>7850636
It's "dead" in the sense that it's not "popular," so we could rightfully say that "industrial black metal" is also "dead."

However, being unpopular, contrary to your retarded views, is a virtue.

>>7850615
> Murmuure
> industrial in any way

Still a pretty good release though.

>>7849430
Vomir is surprisingly suitable for reading, as long as it's on a low volume. HNW is a good alternative for drone and ambient music at a low volume imo.

>>7850636
lesser minds enjoy lesser arts,

literature = classical music
genre fiction = "other music"

>>7846952
Who specifically, OP? I listen to a fair amount of ambient IDM in general. My favorite is probably Celer. I would highly recommend them if you haven't heard them before. They were a husband-wife duo, wife passed away several years back now, but they made some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

These threads are the epitome of cancerous /lit/ culture, people who have fallen for memes, people who try to outmeme each other, people posting metaironically and a couple of guys ignoring the cancer and posting/sharing the music they like.

Nonetheless, regarding OP's question: I used to listen to whatever music I felt like putting on, but grew out of that after realizing I could barely keep focused on one of either reading or listening, so I don't anymore - which means I'm listening to less and less music as the time I spend reading increases.

A better question may be, what kind of music do you guys like to use as a background when you're reading out loud? I discovered this song while I was mocking Tarkovskij's Sculpting in Time with a friend, unexpectedly perfect for a reading:

I have to disagree, Murmuure has pretty prevalent influence from Coil in the form of synths, horns, and winds that mirrors an esoterically pagan atmosphere

>>7850771

Everything was good there except Philip Glass.

Philip Glass is minimalist shit.

I listen to classical or jazz to relax. but my favorite is old rustic shit. old time, folk, acoustic blues, bluegrass etc

>mfw all these plebs say they listen to classical while reading

You are all just about the image and it's awful. You can't just put classical music on as background sound and then think you have good taste.

To truly appreciate a good piece of music or a good book you need to devote all your attention to it. If you try to do both at the same time you will either end up paying attention only to one or will end up half-assing both.

So when you want to read just read and drown out all sounds so the music playing does not matter. When you listen to a piece of music you should concentrate on it fully. The only thing that is acceptable is if you want to look at the sheet music while listening.
