this is excellent - needs to be an iPad app.

dlsym• 14 years ago

IMHO I really do not know how this nerve-racking sound can be endured while programming. Besides it basically is just this classic on steroids:

azelfrath• 14 years ago

This is terrible. Music should stimulate the mind, not dull it. Creepy little men "singing" is not going to make me more focused, but a nice piece of Baroque will certainly do the trick.

_hiss• 14 years ago

http://musicforprogramming.net/ is much more useful.

sek2• 14 years ago

Thanks, exactly what i was looking for.

amanelis• 14 years ago

have yall seen Console.fm ? Crawls the web to find the most trending electronic music and sorts by genres.

SomeCallMeTim• 14 years ago

Tried it, but it really didn't work for me.

Didn't hate it, but their aesthetic [1] turns out to be totally wrong for me to program to. Instead of droning and textures without rhythm, I need a heavy beat, vocals, and strong melody (or at least prominent and fast arpeggiated synth). Instead of that I tend to listen to di.fm Vocal Trance, if I'm sick of listening to my collection.

90% of coding for me seems to require that I distract most of my brain. When a problem gets really hard I often just turn off the music. I should try listening to MFP under those circumstances and see if it works better then. :)

Regardless: Glad it works for you. Not trying to dis MFP. Different people need different soundtracks.

[1] http://musicforprogramming.net/?c=aesthetic

option_greek• 14 years ago

I think they really got something right. I tried so many genres but always use their collection when I really need to focus. I especially like the 01(datassette) and 02 (sunjammer) compilations.

tempire• 14 years ago

Excellent. Love the interface. Very well-thought out.

jessep• 14 years ago

I think the comments here are responding negatively to the title of the post. True, you're probably not going to spend the rest of the day coding to the music you make in incredibox. But this app is still very cool for what it is: a fun, easily accessible experiment in making music with loops.

I put together a couple of little songs that sounded pretty cool, and the experience was simple and enjoyable. I give props to whoever made Incredibox, and think this general direction is promising for casual music making, an activity that could benefit all of us.

tarr11• 14 years ago

Agree. This app made me smile, a rare thing while coding.

samwilliams• 14 years ago

This app also made me smile, but I have to disagree with you - I often can't stop smiling while coding. The feeling of satisfaction when something works out really is unrivalled. Each to thier own though!

tapvt• 14 years ago

Agreed. I actually laughed out loud when the UI popped up, and again when I dropped a beat on the shirtless skinny white guy.

Novel idea, fun UI. If the minor end-of-loop delay (which another commenter mentioned) were eliminated or mitigated, it'd be downright awesome.

Nice work. Thanks to the creator(s) for the entertainment.

liber8• 14 years ago

Agreed. This kind of stuff is going to result in a massive amount of new music in the next few years. Very cool.

There's been a slew of these going around lately (I found this cool, simple little one last week: http://www.sembeo.com/media/Matrix.swf). Incredibox is the most fun version yet.

wyck• 14 years ago

Sorry I prefer old school dj's, they still exists and I don't have to play with an interface ? I'll stay with http://somafm.com/

empika• 14 years ago

Great thing. Although I don't think it is the best music to code by, especially as it just loops and loops! I made a similar 'remixer' in about 2003 for my university dissertation, although mine was networked so you could mix with a friend ;) Love the art style though

nextstep• 14 years ago

This is really fun. I like the vocals a lot and I like the interface to control each track. The title is incorrect because I don't think the intent of this app is for programmers to make background music to work to.

zackzackzack• 14 years ago

Every once in a while all of them pause in sync. Try using distinct primes for the length of a musical cycle to create a different sound. Not sure how it would for beats, but I know visually this is useful.

malvim• 14 years ago

Great and fun application, but these little pauses at the "seams" between the loops are REALLY throwing me off.

You can't stomp your feet to this for more then one whole loop. Too bad, I loved the idea and the implementation!

omarish• 14 years ago

This is so much fun. Thanks to whomever created this. Will give it a spin starting now.

laserDinosaur• 14 years ago

Really bad title, really awesome app.

dvee81• 14 years ago

This is freakin' awesome guys! Android/IOS app and maybe facebook will buy you for 1B ;)

siavosh• 14 years ago

I think it's funny how [negative] some of these comments are. I think the negative reactions here are a perfect example of Louis C.K.'s joke/rant: [1] "Today's Tech is Wasted on the Crappiest Generation"

Edit: angry -> negative

sek2• 14 years ago

Which angry comments?

heyitsnick• 14 years ago

It's funny, i'm 2/3 of the way down this thread and so far most comments have been of the "i can't believe all these negative comments" ilk. I haven't seen one negative one yet. I guess they're lower down... i think HNers should have more faith in the upvote/downvote process.

maz29• 14 years ago

richardlblair• 14 years ago

Props. This is a very cool project.

whalesalad3• 14 years ago

I can hack/design for hours without even knowing it while listening to Kap Slap.

It also helps you run a 5K faster than you might have originally imagined :)

Anyone who likes remixes/house/dubstep I'd encourage you check it out! The spring break mix is an hour long and it's full of goodies.

http://soundcloud.com/kapslap/kap-slap-spring-break-mix

p.s. I'm only evangelizing this stuff so much because honestly if I set out to run 10k I'll listen to this and it will help me get there more than anything else. Or if I wanna kill a new comp or a handful of bugs, [PLAY] and it sucks me in like a vortex.

prawn• 14 years ago

Many already mentioned by others, but also Madeon and Hood Internet perhaps? 2 Many DJs mixes. Oh, and look up Paris DJs and if you like a bit of variety check out the Molested Laura mixes, especially #6. DJ Z Trip too.

For more chilled stuff, Bonobo and DJ Krush.

This is great btw. Thanks a lot for sharing!

espadagroup• 14 years ago

If you love Kap Slap you'll love 3LAU:

http://soundcloud.com/3lau/sets/top-10-downloaded-tracks/

hoka• 14 years ago

agreed. 3LAU is better than Kap...Kap's stuff just feels too 'bro' for me. I like more traditional EDM either way.

That said, based on what you've linked, have you checked out the DATAMIX podcasts by Designer Drugs? I loves 'em.

http://soundcloud.com/designerdrugsmusic/sets/datamix-mixtap...

#12 is a good place to start. And #04.

andrest2• 14 years ago

I feel that Kap-Slap is too close what you hear to radio on every day.

For working there is nothing better than repeating, simple melodies and patterns. What I consider to be a good song is something that you can work along with and not even notice it. This can be classical (Arvo Part, Philip Glass), but I often find that electronical music with a baseline beat is more mellow and fluid.

Here are my recommendations (some really good stuff): http://soundcloud.com/juliengray/julien-gray-gondwana-extend... http://soundcloud.com/monca/djuma-soundsystem-les-djinns

luminarious• 14 years ago

These are a lot better than anything else I've heard today. I'd greatly appreciate anything else that evokes a similar mood.

manish_gill• 14 years ago

This was really great stuff. I'd appreciate similar recommendations!

JonnieCache4• 14 years ago

How/why has bargain-basement recycled eurotrance from 15 years ago become the latest thing amongst american youth?

As someone living in the south of the UK this is one of the strangest and most unexpected developments in global popular music in recent years.

I'm sorry if this sounds snobbish but I genuinely want/need to understand this, and I would appreciate any opinions or theories from americans as to how/why this happened and who/what forces could be responsible. Email in profile.

driverdan2• 14 years ago

This happens with every genre of music. When it's young it's well known in the area it starts. As it spreads the new areas tend to lag. As popularity grows the genre changes and people who knew about it since it was young bitch about how going mainstream killed it.

muyuu• 14 years ago

I think it's mainly because of the availability and popularity of very easy software to slap together something in your own computer. The influx of new people playing with sound loops and their close networks, basically.

kafkaesque2• 14 years ago

Hm. There is quite a bit of misinformation (I like to think it was done unintentionally) that your comment caused when people replied to you. The biggest one being that the US 'invented' 'electronic dance music'.

I can sit here and write an overly, but necessary long reply or recommend a couple of books. I'll do the latter, all of them by Simon Reynolds: Generation Ecstasy: Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture; Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past.

Music history is filled with ambiguities and nebulous, complex definitions that have changed throughout history. What's more, how electronic dance music got from point A to B to C to D to E, and so on and so forth, usually sounds unintuitive to people who listen to mostly only very few music styles. A linear and extremely compressed timeline of electronic (dance) music can probably start as early as Kraftwerk in the early 70s, then NEU! and a lot of so-called 'krautrock', which morphed into things such as Joy Division, who is said to have influenced rave/club culture. Interestingly, the word 'rave' is actually 1960s British slang for modern day-like, club-like loud parties. These loans (both linguistically and musically from all periods in time) remain very common across all of music and makes it even more complex to explain. Anyway, the whole Hacienda club scene influenced club music in the 80s, especially when Ian Curtis died and New Order adopted a sound that allegedly Curtis had already thought of in the late 70s. The Human League shares a somewhat similar music development in the sense that early Human League incorporated more 'rock' elements with 'electronic' ones, and then mostly switched to pure 'electronic' elements. With the help of hip hop (borrowing and sampling music to form their own music), a type of 'explosion' in electronic music occurred. There were some artists already making electronic dance music but it hit mainstream in the early 80s when hip hop started sampling from other artists and using non-traditional (for that time) ways of making music with electronic equipment.

You get bands such as Duran Duran to DJs 'mixing' to, basically, C+C Music Factory. Then comes probably the epitome of rave and electronic dance music: UK garage, dnb, 2-step, jungle, etc.; that all-encompassing term 'rave music'. This is probably when every type of electronic and electronic dance music was created and the rest is history.

See, the problem is that by the 80s, electronic dance music had already been invented and various locations took those ideas at the same time, so people sometimes emphasise New York (electro), Chicago or Detroit (house), and at the point the music from these places 'sounded' more like what we relate to 'house music' now, many other places (in the UK, especially) were doing the same thing. If we look back at Chicago and Detroit before this time, they still had house, but it sounded like funk or disco or dance music with upgraded gear. In other words, it was funk, disco, or dance music using more electronic sounding equipment that we now equate to an '80s sound'. It wasn't electronic music using dance elements. It was dance music using electronic elements.

The funny thing about the States is that in the 90s, electronic music switched to a mainstream emphasis. There were still raves in the States, interesting DJs, and a thriving club scene, but it was underground. The American 90s were characterized by the rise of underground 'indie music'/'rock'/'grunge'/'alternative' music. As much as I hate to admit it (because I don't like them), but Nirvana is a good example of this, as are bands such as Pavement, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains.

If that makes sense.

moe• 14 years ago

In their defense, today's euro-trash is slightly better produced which makes it a little(!) more bearable.

E.g. they largely got rid of the infamous "scooter kickdrum" (aka "poland kick") that was the hallmark of the 90s standard template.

Still I agree. It's often a little embarrassing when americans suggest electronic music these days (for us euros that is - we should really pay more attention to what material we leak overseas...).

MisterMerkin2• 14 years ago

Please enlighten us as to what's the thing now and any internet radio stations playing it. I'm always curious as to what's current elsewhere.

taskstrike• 14 years ago

agreement, kap slap, 3lau, sex ray vision are stables in my programming listen

alinajaf• 14 years ago

Great recommendation! I've been programming to http://soundcloud.com/jaytechmusic a lot recently. 2 hours of buttery biscuit bass delivered monthly every month for the past four years.

MisterMerkin2• 14 years ago

Oh my lord I'd maybe be okay hearing that at a club but couldn't imagine coding in one. Give me downtempo to work to any day. R.I.P. DJ Dusty's Afternoon Nap.

donum• 14 years ago

I really like the interface. It's a joy to click around and building little songs!

But if you record a composition and instantly stop the recording, it will delete your whole composition. I think this isn't intentional.

spjwebster• 14 years ago

This (or at least the shuffle mode) reminds me of AlgoMusic, a music generator for the Amiga that, back in the day, provided me many hours of coding music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyUnXjVgx44

I'm going to throw Incredibox into shuffle mode for a while to see how long it takes me to switch back to Daft Punk.

rms25• 14 years ago

/\ Just tried it out in an Amiga Emulator very cool

timmaah• 14 years ago

I can't believe your the only one in this thread that mentioned shuffle mode. Very neat.

courtewing• 14 years ago

I think this is a mighty clever app; I'm not really sure why there are so many negative comments.

It would be nice if the url changed with the sample combinations though. It looks like you can record a chunk of the sound and share that, but I'm far more interested in sharing the exact combination that I come up with than I am the sound itself. I'd love to just send a link to a friend so that they could not only see the combination in action but also dive in and make it their own.

fady• 14 years ago

yeah, i found this to be super fun and i felt like a dj for about 10 mins while i made my beats. job well done.

guelo• 14 years ago

My go-to for programming music is Groove Salad on SomaFM, a San Francisco institution going on 12 years. http://somafm.com/play/groovesalad

EvilTerran• 14 years ago

I'm also a big fan of SomaFM for background music, although which stream I go for varies depending on my mood. I've found Cliqhop better when feeling tired, and Beat Blender more suitable when feeling fidgety.

Another favourite of mine is [http://kohina.com/] -- I definitely find old-school game music helps me focus. Perhaps it's conditioning from the hours on end spent sat in front of an Atari ST in my youth...

eli5• 14 years ago

I was all about Groove Salad until I found http://di.fm/

calebmpeterson• 14 years ago

DI and The Crystal Method were my gateway into electronic music. Over a decade later and I haven't looked back.

bits• 14 years ago

Hooking into Groove Salad or Deepvibes Radio http://deepvibes.co.uk/ [320 Kbps] nearly always creates an environment to get lost in the code flow.

Assign a hotkey to each of your favorite stations and jump around without losing your flow.

One way to do this is to trigger the launch of a .pls file. Save the following as deepvibes_320.pls without leading spaces

  [playlist]
  NumberOfEntries=1
  File1=http://deepvibes.co.uk:9106/

groove_salad_130aac.pls

  [playlist]
  numberofentries=1
  File1=http://voxsc1.somafm.com:3000

redwood• 14 years ago

Totally ditto this!! Groove Salad has saved so many mornings where I needed to work, and evening commutes where I needed to sleep. It's so relaxing, doesn't capture your mind's thinking, but makes you feel you're living in a future technological utopia.

Trying to be not petty but I posted this weeks ago and nobody really cared:

In any case, I really like how they explain how to user can actually use it. I dont know what everyone else thinks, but I feel like everyone in the age braket 18-30 wants to be a dj at a party.

eli5• 14 years ago

Your headline is more accurate and descriptive, but this headline knows its audience a lot better. This a lesson about marketing in there somewhere.

ahsanhilal4• 14 years ago

Yea I know. Apparently I should be adding hacker, programming, Ask PG, ycombinator application etc to everything I post :)

I think though I did just get a lesson in what makes people click. Kinda like when I see "Kardashian's body and photoshop" headlines in my FB feed...

MysticFear• 14 years ago

Should be a lesson for you, marketing matters. Your title didn't get people to click and enjoy.

ahsanhilal4• 14 years ago

One caveat, my headline can only ask people to click, though enjoyment/fulfillment is mostly dependent on individual preferences, right?

creamyhorror• 14 years ago

After coming across Incredibox recently, I saw your post and decided not to repost. Guess I should've thrown my hat into the marketing ring...

There's a viral barrier that needs to be breached for things to hit the front page, and then the views shoot up from there.

dudurocha• 14 years ago

This is amazing, man. But it actually made me stopped coding, instead, I'm enjoying all the combinations.

Achshar2• 14 years ago

I would like to take this opportunity to make this shameless plug. I use it to play background music while programming. An app that is a full music player but in your browser and 100% html5. It plays local music like vlc or windows media player. It also runs entirely offline and in background (close the tab or browser and music still plays).

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fddboknafkepdchido...

tagawa2• 14 years ago

Looks interesting. Do you have the original URL for those of us not on Chrome?

Achshar2• 14 years ago

Well the app is a packaged app. It's just like software. So it is not hosted on any server. I am working on making it a web app but that means it won't be working in background.

isurfbecause• 14 years ago

Since people are suggesting online stations here, Notch (he of Minecraft fame) often listens to http://www.di.fm/electro/ and somehow I got addicted to it as well while watching him code his Ludum Dare entry. Kinda high energy though.

anthonyb• 14 years ago

There are a bunch of channels on there though. Some sort of trance might be more your thing: http://www.di.fm/classictrance

eli5• 14 years ago

I've been a paying subscriber to di.fm for years. It's great.

Honestly, I barely know what the different station names mean; I just flip through the stations until I find one that has a beat/sound that matches what I'm looking for at that moment.

joshmlewis• 14 years ago

I've wondered for awhile what some good programming music is. I know this could vary but what do some of your playlists consist of? Or even link up good Spotify playlists.

1) Go to pandora

2) Start a new channel

3) Type "abakus"

4) vote up/down as desired

sherlocked• 14 years ago

My go-to coding music is the TRON: Legacy soundtrack, but this is turning out to be a pretty awesome alternative so far.

hendi_• 14 years ago

I really like listening to online streams like soma.fm or di.fm when coding. Not just because their sounds are great (they are!) and put me into the zone (they do!), but because it keeps me motivated when I get the inner urge to click around the interwebs. Why? Because I know that while I'm listening and trying to stay focused on my coding, somebody else somewhere in the world is listening to exactly the same tunes at the same moment and is being productive. That really keeps my motivation to produce stuff high!

mbenjaminsmith• 14 years ago

I like to listen to my turntable while coding. Getting up every ~15 minutes to flip/change a record actually helps me focus because it gives me constant tiny breaks. The mindless nature of the task also doesn't interrupt my thoughts but does give me a change to stretch my legs.

myspy• 14 years ago

Wow, this application has gone even further. I saw it I think two years ago (or last year?) and you couldn't do that much with it.

It's very enjoyable because the loops are great.

Nothing to program to, as I enjoy alternative music (Limp Bizkit anyone?) and playing my playlists in iTunes while coding.

With all the dubstep links here, I'd be remiss if I didn't include Philly's own Dubsef:

BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix does it for me: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wkfp

The best DJs from around the world produce mixes every week. Pretty much always top notch stuff that usually doesn't have a lot of lyrics.

This is incredibly cool. Having a blast messing with it.

Very cool! Next thing: randomly change the tunes every 3-4 mins :)

There's a shuffle button in the top right

I love it.

Wow, incredibly addicting. I don't think it is something I would play around with every day, but I spent about an hour trying out different combinations.

128 bpm just ain't enough these days. ;) Coding at 150 bpm always helps with some electronic music (eg. hardstyle) http://gaming.operationreality.org/groups/music/forum/topic/...
