Gold Panda is an electronic music composer who hails from London, England. I’ve been a fan of his from the very beginning of his career and this fan appreciation page is my way of giving thanks to an artist that has helped me through some tough times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Music that Gold Panda puts out has been called electronica, post-dubstep, ambient, microhouse and minimal techno. My name is Nicholas Dixon and I’m an IT technician who works in a web design company in Austin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than London, I don’t really have anything else in common with Gold Panda. Unless Gold Panda is interested in Raspberry Pi hacking, router hacking, cheap electric skateboard hacking, cheap FPV drone hacking, etc. I’m a huge tech enthusiast, so much so that I can’t help but feel cheated we only have this type of hoverboard, instead of the ones we’ve seen Marty use in Back to the Future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the introductory section, I mentioned Gold Panda’s music and its impact on me during challenging times. To clarify, I’m not an eccentric; rather, I struggle with maintaining attention. Identifying the cause is tricky. My focus can shift swiftly, from being immersed in work to impulsively planning a drone-flying session in the park with my remote-controlled drone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn’t uncommon, right? Speaking of drones, it’s worth noting I’m not a professional drone operator, just an average person enjoying affordable drones. My concentration varies: some days are dedicated to work, while others are scattered. Traditional medication prescribed by my doctor had undesirable side effects, so I sought alternative methods, like music, to manage this issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This led me to purchase a beginner’s flute two years ago. Interestingly, this journey reminds me of how music icons, like James Hetfield, have managed their lives and careers. Hetfield’s net worth, reflecting his success, is a testament to overcoming personal challenges, a topic explored in my related blog post about “James Hetfield Net Worth”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that I’ve explained my situation I realized that I made matters worse and made myself look like an even bigger weirdo than I already was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, what I discovered is that playing music helped me keep my focus and motivation to do daily tasks at work. It’s not just me that noticed this. There are lots of people online in the same situation as me saying that video game soundtracks helped them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, video game music is designed to be enjoyable, but at the same time not too distracting so that you can play the actual game. Others use video game music, I use Gold Panda music as my drug. They are quite similar-sounding, it all depends on what game soundtrack we’re talking about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So to sum up, I had problems with keeping the focus on my work, listening to Gold Panda music and music from other similar artists helped me deal with this issue and boost my productivity. That’s what I meant when I said that Gold Panda music helped me through some tough times. Besides music, people often mention weekend getaways as a nice way of clearing your mind and retaining focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
