Music to design sites by

I have fairly specific auditory requirements to accompany my design time. I’ve never been able to work with lyrical music, so I constrain myself to acoustic music. To further narrow it down I swing between the alt-instrumental post-rock noodlings of artists such as Tristeza, Tortoise, Japancakes, The Letter E, Saxon Shore and Lanterna, and the more ambient end of the spectrum offered by Labradford, Pan*American, Aix Em Klemm, Hammock, Harold Budd, and Robin Guthrie.

I’m just discovering a new sub-genre of both these which I can only describe as post-dance folk-electro, represented by the likes of the excellent Lymbyc Systym.

Do you design? What do you listen to?

    Toby, you have some good music suggestions up here. I notice a couple of common denominators in my library to yours. I hope that you have heard of Helios – you’ll love him if not.

    Thanks Dan, I have heard of him actually, some good stuff out there on Spotify and Last.fm. Suppose I should go out and buy something really!

Being

I'm a Bournemouth-based Freelance Graphic and Web Designer with six years industry and more than eleven years personal experience in all aspects of digital design and new media.

 

I have a broad range of experience covering web design (custom cms theme design for Joomla, Wordpress & Drupal), design for print (letterheads, business cards, logos etc) and new media (banner ads, flash animation, interactive info portals). I believe that a design is only as good as it is usable, and prioritise the latest accessibility standards in all my online work.
