Description

Zen music creates contemplative soundscapes designed to facilitate meditation, mindfulness, and inner peace. Drawing from East Asian Buddhist traditions and modern ambient influences, it features sparse instrumentation, natural sounds, and gentle melodies that encourage deep relaxation. The music emphasizes simplicity and空間 (ma/space), allowing silence to be as important as sound itself.
