So today I've got a few different artists I'd like to show you, of an almost undefinable genre.

First up, Glen Porter. Porters music contains no lyrics, just instrumentals. I first heard of Glen Porter through a television show aired on OLN called Departures, the show is about a few friends travelling around the world. Many of his songs are played in the background throughout the show, and somehow is the perfect fit to any scenario in the show. One of my favourite songs by Porter is entitled "29 Palms". This song makes you appreciate the little things in music, like a particular guitar riff, a certain drum line, or perfect timing between beats.



Secondly is an artist who has a similar style to that of Glen Porter, only this time in much more of a hip-hop style. This artist is Ratatat. Ratatat's beats contain absolutely impeccable timing, and impressively for music without lyrics, leave you, the listener, feeling the emotion of the song after listening. This is achieved through the stregnth and power of the beats, combined with the many instrumentals surrounding them. If you listen to Ratatat as religously as I, you will notice in many of his songs how much the songs mood, and overall sound can change throughout the duration of the song.
