Ambient | Vibepedia

Ambient music originated in the 1960s with composers like [[klaus-schulze|Klaus Schulze]] and [[brian-eno|Brian Eno]], who sought to create a new kind of music that focused on atmosphere and texture rather than traditional melody and rhythm. This genre has since influenced a wide range of musical styles, from [[electronic|electronic]] and [[new-age|new age]] to [[experimental|experimental]] and [[chillout|chillout]]. Ambient music often features calming, repetitive soundscapes and is commonly used for relaxation, meditation, and focus. Notable ambient artists include [[tim-hecker|Tim Hecker]], [[william-basinski|William Basinski]], and [[stars-of-the-lid|Stars of the Lid]], who have all contributed to the genre's evolution and diversity.
