Do you listen to something while reading?
I like the miami hotline ost and some 2hu remixes, but I would like something slower.
Could you recommend something?

Harsh Wall Noise

It isn't distracting at all and it cancels out any other sounds I find irritating.

This is my favourite harsh noise wall:

No, it's distracting, and I would rather just have silence over "harsh wall noise."

I used to, but I found it influenced my mindset too much. I would be reading a filler chapter and would have pangs of emotion from the sheer fact that an emotional track came on. I picked up on it and eventually just did away with music all together, and my reading has been the better for it.

I don't tend to listen to music and read, if I do it's mainly instrumentals.

When I write however I love putting some music on. Really stimulates those creative juices. Currently listening to Gateway Drugs, their album is free to dl and has a nice synth-pop kind of vibe to it which I don't find distracting at all.

Ambient music fan coming through.

here's some and some favorite albums

Brian Eno (ambient 1,2,4, discreet music, music for films, apollo, the pearl, apollo)
Harold Budd (bandits of stature, song for
lost blossoms)
Oneohtrix Point Never (betrayed in the octagon, replica)
Aphex Twin (ambient works 1-2)
Philip Glass

Gas (discography)
Eluvium (talk amongst the trees)

It's a terrible idea, even ambient music can be distracting unless looped and in that case it might as well had off. It's useful as a form of white noise to drown out distractions, but it's best to read in silence.

Its so crazy
I got everything figured out
But for some reason I can never find what real love is about
No doubt
Everything in the world figured out but I can never seem to find what real love is about

Do you think I sacrificed real life
For all the fame of flashing lights?
Do you think I sacrifice a real life

There is no clothes that I could buy
That could turn back the time
There is no vacation spot I could fly
That could bring back a piece of real life
Real life, what does it feel like?
I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight
What does it feel like, I ask you tonight
