Anyone have any pointers? {more inside} Ever since starting grad school I've been unable to listen to music, because I have to read all day and all night and can't deal with music while I read. This is a horrible disaster! <br> <br> There are a few exceptions to this rule: for whatever reason, I can listen to Joy Division while I read. And some electronic music, like Gas, or Keith Fullerton Whitman; and stuff like Discreet Music or Dntel. I've been most successful, with music like Philip Glass's Metamorphoses, Pärt's Passio, and, recently, Max Richter's "Blue Notebooks."<br> <br> What other minimalist, repetitive, non-distracting and yet beautiful and enriching classical music is out there? I swung by the record store today but was lost looking at all the composers. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.10560 Wed, 29 Sep 2004 13:57:44 -0800 classical classicalmusic contemporarymusic feldman glass modernmusic music part josh
