Kind of music do you listen to while you read? If any at all?
I personally enjoy listening to ambient IDM while I read educational or non-fiction, but I have a hard time with listening to music while reading fiction.

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.

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.

i got you homie
>>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.

Instrumental is the only race while reading.
If you're starting with the Greeks I recommend Manos Hadjithakis.
Richard Wagner when Patrician Lit.
instrumental technical death metal
so long as I cant hear the vocals/words I dont give a fug.

What kind of troglodyte reads while listening to music?
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.

>Alice Boman
You should check out Johan Heltne if you enjoy Swedish singer/songwriters.

Hell yeah muh nugga. Oxbow B is pretty rad, too

simply perfect, the songs kind of follow the same pattern from start to end and no vocals to distract.
>>7848654
is this a joke?
>>7848654
I've been in trance states with this album a few times, it's good for zoning out and wandering in your mind for a while.

It's cool finding someone else who likes Lorn. I've been into The Gun lately

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.
>>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:

"Waahhh he listens to music I don't like! Better discredit all his opinions!"
How much of a pretentious faggot can you be
>>7850648
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.

holy shit, did I just have a music related conversation on lit that didn't devolve into shitposting?
Im astonished
>>7847416
>Also some jazz like Oscar Peterson or Chet Baker but not the wild stuff.
try bill evans, dave brubeck, paul desmond
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.

Yawn.
I used to listen to the really minimal kimd of ambient (sotl, aloof proof, awvfts and so on) but prefer silence now
>>7846952
I listen to Future House mixes while reading.
Yeah I know I'm a pleb.
