Music and research life

My accompanying songs

A personal selection of songs that accompany Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini during research, work, and everyday life.

A personal listening journal

Music for focus, energy, and reflection

Music has been a constant companion throughout my life—not only during research, but also through ordinary moments. Depending on the work and state of mind, it can inspire, comfort, energise, invite reflection, or simply create a quiet background.

01 · Roots

From punk to classic rock

Ramones, 2 Minutos, Los Miserables, The Clash, Pink Floyd, and Creedence Clearwater Revival shaped an early, broad musical landscape.

02 · Focus

Acoustic space for work

Soft acoustic music, soundtracks, Yann Tiersen, and Ludovico Einaudi often provide the calm concentration needed for research.

03 · Discovery

A collection without borders

Spotify opened paths to Talco, The Porters, Frei.Wild, and Unantastbar, alongside pop, folk, Latin, Italian, and spiritual music.

Every so often, one song captures my attention and stays for days—accompanying work and family life, perhaps a bit too much. This page records those songs. Perhaps one will resonate with you, too.
