If atonal does not do it for you try Schubert lieder. Nothing is more tonal, interesting and pure. Try Die Wintereisse, Schwannengessange, Die Schone Mullerin. Great stuff!!!!
The atonal stuff?
I believe you speak some German? The poetry is abslolutely great!

Originally posted by AttilaTheHornI was wondering how long it would take for friend attila to pipe in. See what you got me doing? Recomending Schoenberg, Berg, etc. If it's too quiet I can hear myself think then I hear blunders. With music I may still blunder, but do so quietly!
Silence, the best music to play chess to is no sound at all.

Originally posted by scacchipazzoI like all the music you mention, but it would distract me from the game, I think. Oddly enough, classical Irish music (the way The Chieftains play it) helps me focus.

Originally posted by AttilaTheHornIt might be interesting to program sounds for the various chess configurations (64 is a musical number, I think) and hear what the great matches of the past sound like. Maybe it'd help the chess memory too!

Originally posted by Bosse de NageNOise never bothered me. My house is always noisy so I do not mind. Curiously enough, when I have great music in the background I tend to concentrate better. I also listen to Bach's B Minor Mass, Beethoven's MIssa Solemnis, Haydn's the Creation, Schumann's Faust Oratorio, various a cappella choral works and on and on.

Mediaeval (troubabour) music goes well with chess as well as more modern music by Coil, Cyclobe, irr. (ap.) ext and the likes.
No doubt it's got something to do with the weather, the moon, and mean cheese consumption.

Originally posted by FMFwow have not heard that band name in a while. I used to have a copy of an album, it had no name, but it was great. I like anything epic when I'm playing live chess, Miles Davis' Agartha comes to mind as does Bitches Brew. Square pusher can be epic and quite aggressive. Oddly enough my friend put on a Blue Man Group album and I thought that worked well also.
