psychill
Psychill, short for psychedelic chillout, is a music genre that blends elements of electronic music with ambient sounds. It often features slow tempos, soothing melodies, and ethereal textures, creating a tranquil atmosphere. This genre is popular in relaxation settings, such as yoga classes and meditation sessions, where the aim is to promote a sense of calm and introspection.
The roots of psychill can be traced back to the psychedelic music movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which sought to enhance the experience of altered states of consciousness. Artists in this genre often incorporate influences from world music, ambient, and downtempo, resulting in a diverse soundscape that encourages deep listening and emotional exploration.
