# Music

{% hint style="info" %}
My default music selection is lyricless. Most is also wordless, because words distract my attention when I am doing anything to the music, such as dancing, flowing, working or creating. This is not about having a weak mind, but rather about crafting the ideal environment that is conducive to optimal performance in whatever I am doing.
{% endhint %}

I can't really describe the music that I like.

I suppose you're not supposed to describe music anyway so that's fine.

Here's some music that I like.

Some kind of order will emerge over time, I'm sure.

## Psy-midtempo

I don't know a genre name for this class but basically it's like psytrance, it's psychedelic but slower, the beat & pace feel grounded and stable, the music varies progressively, and the structure is deeply entrancing.

## Psy Dub

This is a subgenre but itself is very broad.

* Globular
* Abakus
* BlueTech
* OTT
* Geoglyph
* Wolf Tech
* Key-G
* Ekorce
* Botanikal

***

## Psybass

This has to be a bit broad, perhaps I'll separate it out later.

* CloZee

***

## Psybient (but with beats)

* Carbon Based Lifeforms

***

## Psy Dirge

I honestly have no idea if there's a proper name for this genre.

There's a quality to the soundscape that creates an all-consuming soundzone with a slight dischordance that seems to hold you in it. It typically goes well with specific chemicals.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://farran.gitbook.io/personal/recommendations/music.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
