What is some great instrumental music to listen to while writing?

Question

I'm looking for some energetic music with no lyrics in any language. Any vocalization tends to cause my mind to wonder. I like acoustic guitars. I don't like too many synthesized sounds, but a little is okay. I like a variety of music, so suggest anything, and I'll see if I'm game. If you know where I can listen to a sample online, too, that would be great.

Answer 1

energetic music with acoustic guitar

Envio - For You (DJ Shah's Sunlounger Mix)
Richard Durand - Sunhump 2006

Answer 2

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a great band like this. The only vocals that are in any song that I've heard is a brief monologue in the beginning of "Dead Flag Blues," but the rest of that song is simply amazing. I would recommend them if you are willing to listen to a 16-20 minute song.

Answer 3

Whenever I feel creative, I play Mozart. If you want to try it, go with 'A Little Night Music' (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik) or watch the movie 'Amadaeus' and you'll probably like his music too.

Here's a link to some good sound clips:

Answer 4

take a song that you really like and especially if you like the backround music in that song, search up the name of the song in bearshare but put instrumental after the song so say you wanted the song cupids chokehold, search up cupids chokehold instrumental, that way you can download the song with no words and just the backround music

Answer 5

Beethoven or if you like a little rock trans Siberian orchestra has a great combination of rock and classical

Answer 6

Mozart has some good stuff. It's all classical but scim through it and you might find some thing you like.
