Is there any kind of music without melody?

There are various kinds of New Age 'sound environment' experiences, sometimes including natural sounds or instruments playing nondescript improvisations. These forms of music are most often designed to encourage relaxed or meditative states. There is 12-tone (sometimes called serial) music which treats all 12 tones of the diatonic scale equally and creates a fascinating musical vocabulary but with no discernable melody. this music (sometimes called, I think ambiguously, atonal*) even shares some structual ideas with Bach's fugues. There is minimalist or pattern music, exemplified by the contemporary Philip Glass. There may be melodic or thematic elements, but when you hear some (if you never have) you probably will not conclude that you are listening to melody in the usual sense. *Twelve-tone music is anything but a-tonal (without tone). If anything, it is hypertonal, taking into account every tone, each with equal weight, in every composition. The use of "atonal" refers to the fact that music written this way has no "tonic"; it is not written in a key in the usual sense of the word. Atonic may be more descriptive.
