Could be classical, modern, or from TV Shows, Movies, Video Games, or any form of media, but instrumental only.
I need a list of good music to help me cope with depression. Thanks
There is a whole album for Dwarf fortress that is just incredibly atmospheric guitar, give it a listen.
Really like Chopin’s nocturnes.
Best calm-down music in the world. Love listening and playing them.
Tool - Triad
Faith No More - Woodpecker From Mars
Star Trek II soundtrack
Batman (1989) soundtrackStick Figure (reggae) has some of his albums as instrumentals only on youtube. I can also say you might try listening to his regular albums. It certainly helped me get through a rough patch recently. I find his music and lyrics to be very uplifting.
Bach’s Cello Suites. Maybe try Misha Maisky.
And his lute suites, too. Sublime.
The Cello Suites and the Goldberg Variations for me.
if these trees could talk is always where my mind goes when thinking instrumental only
I’m not sure if these will help, when I listen to instrumental stuff it’s usually just a (personal) productivity thing.
David Bergeaud (Ratchet and Clank (1) OST) (some of the other games too, but for me less so the newer
stuffgames that have more action-movie orchestral music) (listen also: Spyro OST, different type of groove)On the other hand, Journey for Tuba - II. Ballad has that mystery/free-roaming sound at the start (listen also: Bully OST)
I also like radio.garden with my local NPR stations (2 channels, often classical and jazz, so if you want to skip news… not always instrumental though) also ouch. There once was Radio Riel (in Detroit, MI), but it doesn’t currently work on garden, they seem to have changed names. You might want folk or reverie, depending on what’s playing. (though is non-english voice an instrument?)
The Over The Garden Wall OST is good, but not all instrumental. I did find an instrumental version, so maybe? Also, this is an autumn vibe.
For more game OST stuff, maybe something from Oddworld (if you can appreciate the atmospheric without it seeming too dreary), or Tomba is more cheery. Maybe even the Sims (Sims 2 is cheery and complex, Sims 1 is simpler, also there seems to be diff music for PC and consoles).
You probably could also go even simpler than instrumental, for instance searching ‘piano solo music’.

That should be a playlist, if not just tube “not all who wander are lost thile”
Oddball here. I like mod files and midi files :)
Booka Shade is also good.
Oh, and also Theatre Organ stuff if you have a subwoofer.
Used to love mod and MIDI files. I should see if there are communities for either
I love the Celeste OST
I’m an fan of Locke, but I love fan remasters.
You could try The Endless River by Pink Floyd
From wikipedia
The Endless River comprises mainly instrumental and ambient music
I haven’t kept up with David Gilmours solo efforts but I think his post-floyd recordings are in the instrumental genre.
Take Five by Dave Brubeck. You can’t improve on a classic.
I don’t see Explosions in the Sky mentioned yet but they’re definitely worth a listen.
Lemmy really needs a post-rock community. That’s one of the reasons I can’t quit reddit. The one there is just excellent.
be the change you wanna see in the lemmy :)
Great recommendation. We Lost the Sea - Departure Songs is one of my all time favourite post rock albums as well.
Got to see them live and it was really cool how chill the crowd was. Standing room and everyone just quietly swayed to the beautiful sound.
I was just scrolling to see if anyone had mentioned them yet. If you hadn’t, I would have.
I’m not sure how to describe my instrumental music taste. Maybe engaging epic fantasy music?
My top 3 are:
- The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
- How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks
- Anything by Antti Martikainen - he’s a composer who has a variety of albums in different music styles that range from orchestra to celtic to rock/metal. ‘The Sound of Courage’ is probably my favorite, followed by ‘Sonic Savior’
The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
OMG how did I almost forget these existed. Thanks for reminding me.
adding it to the list of downloads
Glad to help!
Boards of Canada for some lofi nostalgia
Streets of Rage soundtrack, Sonic 1-3, donkey Kong country aquatic something is a killer
Commix - call to mind is some classic dnb, some lyrics but often looped and mixed to be more of just another instrument
Sasha - airdrawndagger, more ambient slower melodies
Tycho - dive
Anything by Philip Glass or John Williams
Cloudkicker - Beacons, progressive metal band instrumentation kinda like animals as leaders
2010 Toyota Corolla - 2003 Toyota Corolla is the new national anthem
Bohren & der club of gore for some slow noir jazz
Mainly prog or math rock themed but I highly recommend the following:
- Covet
- Chon
- Polyphia
- Snarky Puppy
- Khruangbin (very little vocals)
- Domi & JD Beck
- And So I Watch You From Afar
- Animals as Leaders
- BADBADNOTGOOD
- Delicate Steve
- Rooftops
- Intervals
