Congrats on the 22 minuter! And yeah it is easier without breaks, provided you can distract yourself a bit while running. I find as soon as I'm aware I'm running a certain distance it hurts that much more.wazuzu wrote:Well, the main thing I've learned from making my playlists is that music should be around 150-160 bpm and reflect your running and breathing speed. This way music actually helps you. Music with uneven BPM, like Cephalic Carnage gonna break your breathing or heartbeat rhythm, so I'd advise to refrain from it.AaronIsCrunchy wrote:I think, as long as it isn't stupidly complex in how it's composed or as long as you can use it as a way to keep your mind busy, it's no problem - I've gone running to Shostakovich one day, and then to Cephalic Carnage for the next one

)I guess it does. I only listened to two of their albums (Xenosapien and Exploiting Dysfunction) both can be described as "prog-grind", so broken beats are common there. You can't run with music like this.AaronIsCrunchy wrote:(And it depends on the song, Warbots A.M. does have tempo changes but they're very easy to deal with, and Repangaea is over 12 minutes of constant tempo so that's a great one
Xenosapien is a killer album though. I own Misled by Certainty and, although it's still undoubtedly Cephalic Carnage, a lot of the grindcore element is gone from many tracks. But I do agree with the broken beat point, and this i think has prompted me to make a running playlist - think I'll call it "tracks that won't mess my heart up".wazuzu wrote:I guess it does.

I ran so good that I actually went to my job even though it was my day off, which I remembered right before going home. My boss laughed at me hard.

Jazz is a tricky one. If it's a standard swing jazz then you should be alright, as long as the beat you take from it is a straight 4/4 or 12/8, as opposed to the swing bit. Unless you have a limp?Forever_ambivalent wrote:I thought music was there just to keep you entertained while running.
I can easily attune myself to running with a constant beat (even if it is a little slow I can always make up a few rules like take 4 steps per beat or something). If I need constant beat than I could easily just stick to baroque period and classical period music. Most likely Classical period because trills and turns could throw me off track really easily.
I wonder if Jazz is fine. I would like to listen to some folk music as well but folk music is already so ridiculously complicated in terms of time signature and beats.
How unfortunate. Well I sort of knew that Jazz would be impossible anyway.AaronIsCrunchy wrote:Jazz is a tricky one.

Thing is though, is that it's such a wide genre. Avant-garde jazz or free jazz you'd have NO chance against if you were using it to keep rhythm, for example, whereas the more traditional styles would be much easier. On the classical side of things, any kind of march would be suitable would it not?
As much as it pains me to say it, the easiest to run to is likely generic chart shite, as most of that is built around having a strong beat for drunk eejits to dance to. Punk might be an easy one as well, due to simple song structures, though the downside with punk (and hardcore punk) is that the songs are frequently too short to establish a rhythm with.

Is it uncomfortable with brass as well?Forever_ambivalent wrote:Yea I don't think I would listen to stanchinsky (romantic era musician). There is a reason I specified the music eras to Baroque and Classical. Romance era music can be confusing and crazy. 20th century music is a mixed bag though. Largely full of crazy pieces that play with sounds marvelously but they also have a lot of music that is dedicated to certain time periods.
I have a few pieces in mind but does anybody know any good (20th-21st century) classical pieces? I'm fine with any good pieces done on an instrument so it can even be game music/film music/programme music. I would be happy with anything with a constant beat that isn't over-complicated that is played on an actual instrument. I already have a list of classical music for running but I wouldn't mind having a few modern gems included. I would appreciate it if there isn't a violin in any piece though. Those tend to really hurt my ears when they go for the higher notes and are generally uncomfortable. I will bear it though if I think the piece is good enough though. Violas and Cellos all the way!
I really need to open myself up to more modern pieces of music.
