Musician Releases Album of Music To Code By

itwbennett writes Music and programming go hand-in-keyboard. And now programmer/musician Carl Franklin has released an album of music he wrote specifically for use as background music when writing software. "The biggest challenge was dialing back my instinct to make real music," Franklin told ITworld's Phil Johnson. "This had to fade into the background. It couldn't distract the listener, but it couldn't be boring either. That was a particular challenge that I think most musicians would have found maddening."

  1. on hold with tech support by globaljustin · · Score: 4, Informative

    here is the link with samples (named after colors a bit down the page): http://mtcb.pwop.com/

    it's basically music similar to what you'd hear in an elevator or while on hold with tech support

    i encourage everyone to listen and tell me what you think...if you like it, buy it...this is one man's (correct) opinion

    No demo available even? You just pay $20 and get ripped off or don't? hah!

    Carl Franklin's website has some ~30s samples of each track.
