It's pretty common to see people using music to tune out during practice sessions. Music definitely plays a large role in my card flourishing creative process, with different genres of music resulting in different styles of moves.
In the case of "zoning out" and trying to be creative, I generally try to listen to a more abstract or mellowed sound. Artists like Flying Lotus or Shigeto are nice examples.

For purely mechanical practice sessions, where I focus mainly on style, execution and sequencing, I would use something with a little more energy or stronger rhythm.

My question to all of you, what do you guys listen to when you practice? What helps you get your creative juices flowing, how do you get in the "zone"?
