Music to work by

I constantly listen to music during my work day, but I’m constantly struggling to find the right balance between loud, soft, fast, slow, distracting, not-distracting, etc. Inspired by today’s rainy day in San Francisco I’ve put together a Chillwave station on Pandora. You can listen to it here. Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Chillwave is defined as:

Chillwave, sometimes also referred to as glo-fi, is a genre of music whose artists are often characterized by their heavy use of effects processing, synthesizers, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with simple melodic lines.

The genre combines the larger 2000s trends towards 80s retro music and (in indie music) use of ambient sound, with modern pop, as in electropop, post-punk revival, psych-folk, nu gaze, and witch house.
