From the Hacker News discussion
Debussy is a common inspiration for many Japanese classical compositions (especially in anime). Maurice Ravel (of "Bolero" and "Pavane" fame) is another common one. Since you mentioned Yellow Magic Orchestra, you likely know of Ryuichi Sakomoto. In case you were unaware, he has composed several movie and concert pieces for piano many of which were notably inspired by Ravel. One of my favorites is "Blu" ( [VIDEO] ).
Read original comment ↗I seriously cannot believe music like this helps you with programming, but if it does for you then try "The Algorithm - Access Denied"[1]. For me no music is best. Followed by some white noise. Followed by classical, i.e. "Dvorak - Noon Witch"[2], "Ryuichi Sakamoto - Blu"[3]. [1]: [LINK] [2]: [LINK] [3]: [VIDEO]
