Five hours of incredible music for concentration and studying
We’ve often received feedback that the music we write is really conducive to working, studying, and focusing. So we decided to been explore other music from a wide variety of artists and bands whose output has also be described as concentration music. This is a bit of a different article, and we’re not going to dwell extensively on each album or release – rather, we want to let the music do the talking.
As always, you can listen to the playlist on Spotify, and this time round it’s a five-hour extravaganza of concentration music. It features over thirty different musicians, whom we have listed below – you can find out more about them by clicking on them.
What is concentration music? Do a Google search and you’ll get a whole load of different definitions! From our perspective it’s calm music that focuses, rather than distracts. The kind of music you can happily have on in the background without getting drawn into it – you won’t find heavy drum-based tracks or uptempo orchestral scores in this selection. At the same time, we feel there should still be enough interest to stimulate thoughts and inspire creativity, so strictly ambient / drone tracks are out too! Hopefully you’ll feel the balance is a good one, and we’d love to hear what you think about this collection of concentration music! Leave a comment below or let us know on Facebook! Have any suggestions for other music to include? We’d love to hear them too.
