Dark Ambient is a subgenre of electronic music characterized by its atmospheric, moody soundscapes. It often features slow, evolving textures and minimalistic compositions, creating an immersive experience that evokes feelings of isolation or introspection. Unlike traditional music, it prioritizes mood and ambiance over melody and rhythm. Artists in the Dark Ambient genre frequently use field recordings, synthesizers, and effects to craft their sound. This genre is often associated with themes of nature, the cosmos, and existentialism, making it popular in film soundtracks and art installations. Notable artists include Lustmord and Atrium Carceri.
