Last updated: Wed Oct 22 2025 06:54:56 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)

Description

New age instrumental blends ambient textures, gentle melodies, and world music influences to create calming, meditative soundscapes. Emerging in the 1970s-80s as part of holistic wellness culture, it emphasizes atmosphere and emotional resonance over traditional song structures. The music often features synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and nature sounds designed to inspire relaxation and contemplation.
