Description

Ambience describes music designed to create atmospheric spaces and moods rather than demand active listening. It blends electronic textures, gentle melodies, and immersive soundscapes that evoke specific environments or emotional states, from ethereal dreamscapes to cinematic tension. This music serves as both background enhancement and meditative focus, prioritizing feeling over traditional song structure.
