Mediation music to use for studying
January 9, 2015 2:58 PM Subscribe
Hi HiveMind!
I am always on the quest for good music to listen to to help me concentrate, relax and focus when writing and studying. My go to's had been Steve Halpern, Hemi-sync and some others (white noise, rain). I have really been enjoying Deepak Chopra, he really helps calm me down, but I want more of a mediation soundtrack then the voice overs. I really like the music in this one. Any ideas?
Response by poster: I found Jeffrey Thompson, anything thing else anyone might recommend?

You should check out the 24/7 streaming Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast. I first stumbled upon it in grad school more than a decade ago and it's perfect for what you're talking about. There are even instructions for calibrating a standard volume, above which the entire transmission never rises (so no sudden jolts when the music changes). It's highly varied and is essentially a very well-curated radio station, so over the years I've gotten lots of music based on something I heard on SEB.
I can recommend loads of artists who might fit your description--very tonal, nonpercussive ambient music. For starters, see what you think of Adam Pacione's From Stills to Motion (and here's his stuff on Soundcloud).

I think William Basinksi is perfect for this. Start here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLczqj5Svz5gPdUo5vfo0I1w6bzB4lccmF&v=LGddm-hw-Xc#

A couple of Spotify playlists that might have artists you'd like are Deep Focus and Zen Focus.

This is a lazy answer but the "ambient" channel on Pandora will probably have some stuff you'll like.
