Hey Kito Freaks. Richard and I didn't get a chance to record a show this week, mostly because I'm in Las Vegas at a developer conference.

But please enjoy this fairly relevant show from way back. This is the key tone show.

We figured this would be a good repeat for you since we just did exogenous keytones last week.

Oh yeah, one more thing. We've got some volunteers that are transcribing our shows now

so you should start to see links on the website on each show's page to download the transcript.

Please enjoy and we'll see you next week. Hey, Kito Freaks, this is Carl.

To you or someone you know have trouble focusing?

You know what I'm talking about. You sit down to read something, try to figure out your

monthly budget, write that novel you've been putting off,

or maybe you just can't seem to do one task at a time.

Well, you may not know this, but I'm a musician, as well as a software developer.

Programming is a job that requires focus,

long periods of uninterrupted work.

It's hard.

For them and for you, I've created music to code by.

This is music, yes, but it's specifically and scientifically designed

to promote focus.

Studies show that when math students were exposed to Baroque music between 60 and 80 beats per minute, they did better with comprehension and testing.

So I created more modern music that is neither boring nor distracting but falls within that

tempo range. It's just the right mix. I also made the pieces 25 minutes long.

That correlates to research that shows we all get brain fatigue

after 20 or so minutes of hard focus. The result is thousands of happy customers.
