>Music

Concerning non-vocal music, by which I mean one involving any use of pitched musical instruments, it is humbly and with all deference my opinion that all such activities should be abandoned in favour of purely vocal chants handed down through the oral tradition. It is more than likely that if a free reign of music was permitted in a society displaying even a slight state of decadence, there would remain very few musicians who display a true understanding of the traditional order and the purpose of music within it, which is a role purely subordinate to that of the traditional institutions; instead, as in the case of Europe, we might face ourselves with certain groups infiltrating the musical tradition and subverting it from within. Certainly, the historical record would bear this out. The events of the past few decades with the emergence of the most vile and repulsive 'composers' such as Erik Satie and Erwin Schulhoff offer the perfect example.

- from the famous Guénon-Evola correspondence.

Was mostly ambient/minimalism, until I realized that reading without music was infinitely better, and that having music playing in the background was superfluous to what was in front of me.
This lead me into realizing that I had been for too long completely filling in my day with auditory stimulation, without giving myself enough room to breathe. Being in silence is a fantastic thing, and reading is perfect for it.

I mostly read in complete silence, but for some reason anything on metaphysics go really well with the following:

Also really like anything by Chopin
