What’s Some Good Instrumental (lyricless) Music To Listen To While Drawing And Painting?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 | Book with 7 Comments

I need to block out the sounds of rulers and pencils dropping to the floor from my fellow students. I like listening to Explosions in the Sky (your hand in mine) and think I’d like sigur ros without the lyrics. Anybody have any other good pieces/ bands?

    Why not get into jazz? Try starting with these albums:
    Kind of Blue – Miles Davis
    A Love Supreme – John Coltrane
    The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady – Charles Mingus
    Brilliant Corners – Thelonious Monk
    Time Out – Dave Brubeck

    Daft Punk, MOBY (I love Moby) :) Rinocerose
    Moby has some really good lyric-less tracks like Memory Gospel, Mothers of the Night, etc.
    Daft Punk has amazing tracks like Alive, Robot Rock, Aerodynamic.
    And Led Zeppelin has a song called “Bonzo’s Montreux” which I love, and it’s all percussion. Hope you like them :)

    Pictures at an Exhibition – Modest Mussorgsky.
    It is a series of songs describing the paintings of one of his friends at that friends’ wake. late 19th C. Russian composer. I prefer the original piano version, but Ravel’s orchestration has it’s own flavor
    I second Kind of Blue – Miles Davis.
    anything by the Afro-Celt Sound System
    Scheherazade – Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
    The Celtic Album – The Boston Pops

    Cafe Del Mar has Cd’s called Aria, Aria 2, and Aria 3. They are operatic Arias set to more modern music. Great mood music for creativity and… ; )
