Chris Whitley - Rocket House
Andy Summers & Robert Fripp - I Advanced Masked

Here's a youtube playlist of songs from a friend of mine:

Wow, what a diverse selection of music to explore here. I think it's interesting to observe how differently people are affected by music. A style that may seem anxiety-inducing for one person may be soothing for another.

 

[Vio]

 

[Fractalite]

R. Carlos Nakai, Native American flute music.

That works for me too! Used to listen to Find My Way Home on 45 when I was a kid.

Mozart piano concertos have a calming effect on me. I found a playlist of all 27 of them and play them when I am grading papers.





I also made a playlist called Joyful Beatles which gives me a nice lift.

I listen to a lot of Murray Perahia, too. Check out his recording of Chopin's Etudes (maybe not as relaxing, but freaking amazing).

Another good one:

 

[ConstantM]

Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating by the Stars

These two albums literally saved me my sanity my life over the past few years:

the first seven songs of this soundtrack

Aside: as a Rush fan, I always hated that movie soundtrack!

I listen to a lot of Murray Perahia, too. Check out his recording of Chopin's Etudes (maybe not as relaxing, but freaking amazing).

He was my top artist on Spotify last year! I’ll check out his Chopin.

“Ambient 1: Music For Airports” is another good one.

Anything by Raffi. One of his records and a couple martinis and I’m totally chill. Hell, I don’t even need the albums.
