I highly recommend having some soothing music playing in the background while you’re drawing. It’s a wonderful Zen addition to your Zentangle® time.

Here are some recommendations from our collection of laid back tunes. They’re great any time!


Check back on a regular basis, we’re adding new tunes all the time.

    I was wondering is there any Zentanglers in Missouri or Kansas area whom teach class? I just found this art and I am in love with it! Thanks Joyce

      Hi Joyce, visit this page http://www.zentangle.com/teachers.php for the list of Certified Zentangle Teachers – I see one listed for Missouri. But a new class just finished and it takes them a while to update their list, so check back there in a week or two.

      Welcome, and in the meantime, enjoy practicing with the patterns here!

    For wonderful tangling music you absolutely can’t go wrong with anything Kevin Kern does. Check him out I highly recommend him!!

    Though i’m not adding any songs, I must say that i like to listen to certain types of songs to inspire my zentangles. I give certain themes to my tangles so if i’m doing something more gloomy, i listen to a more somber song; likewise for a tangle that is more vibrant, i’ll listen to a more joyous song thats uplifting. just some help if someone doesn’t know quite what to listen to! :)

  • I use pandora and the zen garden music for my background. It’s very nice and soothing.

  • Joyce Block

    I have found liquid mind music to be very good music to listen to while tangling. The music can be found at http://www.liquidmindmusic.com.

  • I’ve only just discovered zentangling, although I’ve always doodled and I find that some of Medwyn Goodall’s music really works for me – particularly his Medicine Woman cd. :)

    I love tangling to music called Dubsteb; it makes me get lost in my art.

    u should listening to irish and native american indian music

  • Judy

    Why am I not surprised that there’s a Labyrinth music selection in there? Why would I not be surprised to learn that somebody had created a Zentangled Chartres labyrinth?

    Also recommend:
    –Taize chants. CDs and MP3s are available in a variety of languages.
    –A Feather on the Breath of God: The Music of Hildegarde of Bingen
    –Iona: Book of Kells (I recommended this one to the head of my local SCA Scribes guild. He tried to emulate St. Jerome and steal my copy.)
    –Pretty much any Native American music you can find that includes Walela, R. Carlos Nakai, Joanne Shenandoah, or Radmilla Cody. But be prepared to be startled. Native American music + classically trained voices and instruments = breathtaking.

    I love to listen to http://www.gregdgoss.com/
    it helps that he is a friend, but his music is mostly instrumental, a few lyrical.

  • Hi, I bought some drawings by a street artist doing this sort of work, back in the early 2000s, in Pasadena, California. He signed his work “Joel Piller” I believe.

    I tried web searches for him but never founds him. I wanted to get him up on a website. Anybody heard of him or seen his work? I’ll try posting shots of them.

    All my best to him and all the zentangle artists.

  • Lately I’ve been tangling to the Indian Classical channel on Pandora. It consists mostly of very long (10+ minute) ragas performed on Sitar. Think Ravi Shankar. It’s such repetitive, soothing music that it hypnotizes my mind and I find I can make deliberate strokes in time with the beats.

  • Judy

    Hi Greg: I Googled “Joel Piller, Pasadena CA” and came up with a few results.
    http://www.myspace.com/pillerart is just one. But there was also a Facebook listing — his work is beautiful! His address in FB shows Kilua, so don’t know if it’s the same person. Good luck!

    Judy
