If you’re a composer/conductor then you’ve probably already tried this, but for me two types of music work well (as I’m a similarly analytical musician):
- Minimalism, specifically Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians suite
- Atmospheric, specifically ‘Skyrim Atmospheres’ by Jeremy Soule
Both are so versatile: minimalism for journeys and coding; atmospheric for ‘creative’ periods, walking and sleeping. I do somewhat envy your ability to listen to white noise as it is infinitely replicable, but fear it a little distracting in of itself!
