Ambient soundscapes are a type of audio environment that creates a sense of atmosphere through natural or synthesized sounds. These soundscapes often include elements like birds chirping, water flowing, or wind rustling, designed to evoke feelings of calmness and relaxation. They are commonly used in settings such as meditation, yoga, or spa treatments to enhance the overall experience. In addition to natural sounds, ambient soundscapes can also incorporate electronic music and sound design techniques. Artists like Brian Eno have popularized this genre, using layers of sound to create immersive experiences. These soundscapes can be found in various media, including film, video games, and art installations, providing a backdrop that enhances emotional engagement.
