Now see, I cannot listen to extended spoken word or music with lyrics when working on type, no matter the phase. I think that’s largely due in part to how my brain is functioning in seeing lettershapes and constantly associating phonemes & words. Especially when kerning. So lyrics interfere with some of those same synapses, I suppose.

That said, I often enjoy Steve Reich or Philip Glass while kerning. But Mozart, Haydn, et al. while drawing. (No one who knows me will be at all surprised, probably. 😆)
