Looking for instrumental music that is: -instrumental no words at all -inspiring and calming -organic sounding (not just bloops and beeps) -never too intense but is interesting -not for sleeping -for working and creating I have yet to have this sweet spot hit and it’s really a tough one to curate. Examples: Piano music like Chilly Gonzales, the song Avril 14th by Aphex Twin Hawaiian Slack Key like Keola Beamer Certain Sigur Ros songs, but not others (too intense) Cherry by Ratatat Ry Cooder songs Get the idea? I’ll share the resulting playlist for sure.
