OOC: Sythyry Music?

[sythyry]

I've got a decent playlist for Sythyry-writing.  But I'd like to expand on it a bit.

So, can you recommend music that you think would encourage me to write more Sythyry?

Tracks tend to work well if:

• They don't have English lyrics.  
• They are fairly upbeat and energetic.
• They suggest Sythyry (or World Tree stuff), or a mood you'd like to see more of in Sythyry, or something like that.
• They are available as MP3s on Amazon or iTunes, or you can send them to me, or something.

I've got the LJ handle of the person who told me about a track attached to the name of the track in my playlist, so I kind of think of them as "Scorpion Frog from otter3" and so forth.

Thanks very much!

Adiemus, if you haven't already discovered them, might be interesting: they use various musical forms from various musical traditions (a lot of Western common practice period stuff, but not just) but use melody and harmony from a more contemporary model (somewhat New Agey, but not just that - Enya, McKennitt, etc. are in the same ballpark.)

Some songs have language, but it's deliberately nonsense syllables that sound like they ought to mean something, but don't. The first CD of theirs is my favorite, but the dances CD might be a better fit for Sythyry

Good idea! I had barely discovered them; I now can discover them more!
