Sumerian Music and Babylonian Music

Lyres, temple hymns and the Epic of Gilgamesh set to music: Sumerian Music and Babylonian Music is a Spotify playlist of sounds inspired by ancient Mesopotamia, curated by Lord Reverb, with about 4,000 years of history behind it.

Hand drums, plucked strings and long drones that leave plenty of room to think. Nobody knows what a Babylonian Friday really sounded like. This is our best educated guess, and it sounds great with a cup of tea.

It suits studying, writing, history fans and tabletop game night, where it makes any dungeon feel older. Hit Open in Spotify, press play and let the deadline or the dragon wait. Next stops: Classic Movie Soundtracks, Post Rock and Cinematic Instrumentals and Reading Music.
