The relevant DDC area for this blog page is the 780s (Music/musical arts) (see LibraryThing’s page for 780s).
On this page I have tried to include some of the music and medleys to which I listen while working on uni or TAFE assessments, or simply during other sedentary tasks. Along with these sonorous soundtracks, I will (try to) include short descriptions about their backgrounds that may be of interest.
It’s a way for me to practice using the ‘embed’ feature of Notion 🤭 while also making this blog more fanciful and personalised by expressing my own taste in music and media.
Ideally, ambient music should be be instrumental (otherwise the dialogue will interfere with one’s thoughts) and not too fast paced, but that’s my own opinion.
As you might glean from these inclusions, my musical preferences are HEAVILY BIASED towards Japanese media 🇯🇵. Perhaps it’s due to the interactive nature of computer/videogames 🕹️ that Japan often produces, wherein players’ actions are accompanied by sonorous and evocative soundtracks to suit the moment, that I associate these songs with sustained mental effort and hence deem them appropriate for study ambience ♪𓍢ִ໋🎻₊♬. Also, the melodious nature of Japanese music (moreso than cinematic western music, but simpler than classical music) makes for memorable tunes.
Incidentally, a popular platform that provides sheet music (transcribed and uploaded by talented volunteers across the interwebs) for piano and other instruments is Ichigo’s Sheet Music https://ichigos.com/. Go check it out if you ever want to learn how to play some of these wondrous tunes🎹𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋🎧ྀི♬⋆.˚♪. Other sources of sheet music are Musescore https://musescore.com/sheetmusic (but that might require payment beyond previewing music sheets), Scribd https://www.scribd.com/document/1015047068/In-the-Pool-Animenz (Scribd allows free viewing of full sheet music documents, but seems to require paid membership to download), individuals’ blogs (such as https://quellatalo.azurewebsites.net/Scores), or whatever else can be found with a google search.
Some libraries in Sydney also stock physical books of sheet music 📖🎶. So far, I’ve found them at and Chatswood (Willoughby), Customs House (City of Sydney), maybe Green Square (City of Sydney), and maybe both Ashfield & Marrickville (Inner West). Amazingly, a few libraries even loan musical instruments🎻🎸🥁🎷🎺🎤 AFAIK, these include [Ashfield (Inner West)](https://innerwest.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?QRY=BIBITM>(ITMCOLX:MUSIC)&SORTS=DTE.DATE1.DESC]HBT.SOVR&QRYTEXT=Musical%20Instruments), Green Square (City of Sydney), Hurstville (Georges River), and Kirrawee+ (Sutherland Shire).
