Usually when I'm doing my design work, I listen to music. Most of the time its some jazz. Something to sooth the mind, you need proper music to get those creative juices flowing. None of those pop, rock hip hop stuff work for this kinda thing (unless you're designing some grudge of abstract stuff). More often I listen to music by Yanni. I've loved this guys music since he performed at the acropolis back in 1994. This guys music has been on my playlists since then.
If you don't know Yanni. You need to get enlightened. He's a world famous composer from greece, who has live performances with a very diverse modern orchestra of around 50 to 100 really talented musicians from all over the world. Each of his performances are at a historic landmark. besides the acropolis he's performed at the Taj Mahal and the forbidden city.
His music is instrumental and very new age, combining allot of modern and traditional instruments. In my opinion all kinds of music will come and go. but this guys music is timeless and will be played long after his time.
For around 5 years Yanni took a break due to personal problems, he didn't touch a keyboard. unable to balance his passion in music with his personal life. Now he's back with a whole new line of music. this time with voices (but i prefer his previous songs more)
What's ironic is i've never been to a Yanni concert. Now he's back doing a world tour. Its still not confirmed if he'll be touching anywhere in asia. Lets get Yanni to perform in Malaysia, if not at least in Singapore
