about the project

This started years ago as two friends realizing we had similar tastes in music and a preference for songs without words – easier to concentrate when writing, reading, studying, working...

 

We rotated through well-known wordless bands, then other friends & the algorithms turned us onto countless lesser-known acts we now love. Years passed, the playlist grew. We made sub-mixes, best-ofs, and insanely complex curation processes we'd rather not go into. 

 

It’s been a fun rabbit hole, so we created this website to share the hobby and find collaborators. Check out our main playlist, genre mixes, annual best-of & guest playlists, and if you like what you hear, follow on Spotify & sign up for our extremely infrequent newsletter. Then drop your own favorite wordless tunes on our open, public collaborative playlist or write us at wordlesscollective[at]gmail[dot]com.
