Working with Audio or Silence ?

[Masato]

Hey all

For years I ALWAYS worked with headphones; music, documentaries, lectures, interviews, podcasts, etc

wonderful

but lately I am wondering if I may be more productive without?

I recently visited with an artist uncle of mine who loves to paint/sculpt in silence... and he said he even goes so far sometimes to use earplugs to make it even quieter!

I have also explored the values of classical music in this sense as opposed to lyrical music.

Obviously, all have their advantages, and people are all different and work better under their own unique conditions. But I think its interesting to examine our own patterns and habits, and perhaps question them and explore other methods.

Since I came back from my trip I've only played music a few times, mostly I am enjoying without.

Maybe I need some new music, lol

I drive everyone crazy at work, or in the car, I drive and usually work in silence. A lot of people can't deal with the whole silence thing, personally the chatter distracts me and for the most part music annoys me, there is little music I can listen to for a whole day.

- I like to listen to a very low sound, can't stand noise.
