Music to Help You Read, Write and Be Creative
music2work2 is original, groovy, piano driven background music that helps you focus when you need to read, write or create something.
I listen to all kinds of music but when I’m working with ideas, words or images, particularly when I’m creating something new like a design or a blog post, I don’t want to get distracted by the story in my favorite song. I know that having music playing when I’m working helps me to focus and improves my performance so having instrumental music in the background makes sense.
The music is licensed as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States – basically you can use the music to do whatever you want with it so long as:
1/ You let people know you got it from here
2/ You allow other people to use your new creation in the same way.
What we are not saying
Let’s be really clear here. We are not saying that if you buy this music, your whole world will change, work will become a breeze, you’ll get promoted, lose 20 pounds and become Secretary General of the UN (although it could happen!) The site is not intended to offer advice on how you should live your life or make the claim that what is good for us may necessarily be good for you.
What we are saying
Here’s some original music, if you like it, buy it. We like having this on in the background when we are doing things, you might enjoy listening to it that way too. We make no guarantee that our experiences will be replicated by you but we hope that they will, in fact we’re kind of counting on it, but as of January 2010, we have no “official” research about our specific music.
Do the reading yourself
We spent many, many hours researching the concept of music2work2, Andrew’s final year research project for his psychology degree studied the effects of sound on human performance. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of evidence that suggests that having music around is good for you, which is one of the reasons we were inspired to build this website. However, don’t take our word for it, if you’re interested in reading more, here’s where to go.
Why music2work2?
Because everybody works at something; could be their day job, their relationship, their disposition, their talent – work is everywhere and this is good stuff to have on when you’re doing it!
The Music Itself
All sessions are presented with a creative commons license that allows the recipient to add to the work so long as they follow a few basic guidelines.
