Environmental Music
Environmental music is a genre that focuses on creating soundscapes that reflect or enhance the natural environment. It often incorporates elements from nature, such as the sounds of water, wind, and wildlife, to evoke a sense of place and atmosphere. Artists may use electronic instruments or field recordings to blend these natural sounds into their compositions.
This type of music is often used in settings like spas, meditation sessions, and nature documentaries to promote relaxation and mindfulness. Notable figures in this genre include Brian Eno, who is known for his ambient works that explore the relationship between sound and the environment.
