List of New Age music artists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of New Age music artists with articles on Wikipedia:

New Age music is broadly defined as relaxing, even "meditative", music that is primarily instrumental. Unlike relaxing forms of classical music, New Age music makes greater use of electronica and non-Western instrumentation. There is some debate on what can be considered "New Age music", for example several musicians in Celtic music or Smooth jazz have expressed annoyance at being labeled "New Age musicians." For more on that debate, see the article on New Age music. In addition, several musicians object to the label because they fear it implies a connection to the New Age Movement.
