Hi all,

I created a new playlist on Spotify, hoping to be both a place where you can listen to some of the best from the contemplative classical genre, but also to discover new emerging artist that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Here's the link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/03cLHWp2uNZDopjfmN9ZrW?si=CUxdeSifTdaY9hJg7OqjEw

If you have any suggestion on new artists to feature please write below, I'd love also to add some of the VI Control members if you have tracks that fit. And if you like the playlist don't forget to follow thank you!

Cheers
 
Jane Antonia Cornish (especially Into Silence, which I like as much as Olafur)
Caroline Shaw (especially Orange)
Anna Thorvaldsdottir (a bit more avante guarde, but check out her Ariel record)

Thank you @ism, really like Jane Antonia Cornish. Caroline Shaw also is an amazing composer, very good suggestions.

Very nice playlist.

A couple more thoughts:

A Winged victory for the sullen.
Sven Laux (especially Odd)
 
Thanks for that lot of hours of listening.

Ludovico Einaudi - Night
Schindler's list - John Williams
STEVE REICH: VARIATIONS FOR WINDS, STRINGS, KEYBOARDS
 
I would add :
Luke Howard - Hymn
P. Glass & P. Leonard-Morgan - Tales from the Loop OST (particularly The teacher, The Robot, Life of May, Hope)
This playlist could be useful to find new tracks you like :

Wow that's great - thanks very much for sharing.

I was going to suggest some Johann Johannsson but I see you have that covered!

The problem with modern classical music is mainly the titles.
 
Been listening to this playlist the last few days and really enjoying most of it.
I will go through it at some point and create another PL from all the artists that I liked within this one.
Shocked to see Aphex Twin was one of the artist when I checked to see who it was.
Now I recall that I purchased a track he did with a Philip Glass Orchestration:

 
Hi all! I'll be reworking the playlist () in the following week. Do you have any more suggestions? Also I'd love to include the good folks from VI so if you're on Spotify and think your genre fits, please do post your track here. Cheers!
