| | Epsilon: Ambient Music, Beginnings and Implications, by Chris Melchior |
 | | Ambient music is often listened to as a background or as not being the primary focus of conscious perception. | | | Another way in which music is used which is important in relation to ambient music is the use of music in movies. | | | Another route to ambient music is to think of music history as a whole as a progression of gradually widening the sonic possibilities that are allowed in music. |

| | Ambient Music |
| | It is music that is intentionally created to be used as both as background music and as music to listen to. | | | Ayres music is modern electro-acoustic music that explores ambient soundscapes. | | | Ambient music is a style that focuses on sound and space rather than melody and form. |

| | Backroads - Notes on Ambient Music |
| | Ambient music has a rhythmic or trance-like nature, with (generally) electronic keyboards and/or space music melodies or themes. | | | Ambient music grew into its own genre out of the "chill-out" rooms that became a part of the rave scene, a place to escape the pounding, throbbing techno beats (often in excess of 160-180beats per minute!), where DJ's mixed together nature sounds, New Age music tracks, and tape loops or other sound samples. | | | Notably, it is the consistent combination of varying elements that provides a common thread or theme throughout ambient music. |

| | HACU 246 - Brian Eno "Ambient Music" |
| | Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting. | | | Whereas the extant canned music companies proceed from the basis of regularizing environments by blanketing their acoustic and atmospheric idiosyncrasies, Ambient Music is intended to enhance these. | | | Whereas conventional background music is produced by stripping away all sense of doubt and uncertainty (and thus all genuine interest) from the music, Ambient Music retains these qualities. |

| | Ambient Music |
| | Like most ambient music, there's nothing complex or large about the song, but there's something indescribable that it achieves musically, and is unique to the genre. | | | It's music to dance to, at 30 beats per minute, no doubt, and the cultural resonances of the accomplishment seem to show up in many unexpected areas of pop and electronic music even today. | | | This is music you feel like you already know, even upon first hearing it, and which you will grow to remember to a depth unlike anything else you've listened to. |

| | Ambient Music |
| | This show is an hour of music with no spoken interuptions and provides a variety of music which fills an atmosphere. | | | However, just as much of a rush dance music is, so can ambient music be. | | | Ambient is a mind music which might inspire dancing but which preferably demand full mental attention. |

| | Amazon.com: Ambient 1: Music for Airports: Music: Brian Eno,Brian Eno |
| | Ambient 1 is one of the best, and in a way, one of the most beautiful albums ever released. | | | Yet, there are times when I listen to music that I can't quite grasp what I'm listening to; or the music feels heavy and whines in my ears; or the music just doesn't move me in any particular way. | | | This is my favorite album by ENO defining the genre of ambient music and soundscapes. |

| | "Recontextualizing Ambient Music with Csound" |
| | The philosophy behind Ambient music can best be described as an open system of organizing sound which when listened to stimulates a resonance in the listener, thereby inducing a trance-like state. | | | I am an Ambient music composer who is fascinated with the history of computer music. | | | The noise band glissando is the quintessential computer music instrument from the 60's. |

| | Listening to his music as chords set in motion is to listen to it with John Coltrane in the back of your mind. | | | Amirkhanian notes at the end of their conversation how little, if any, of the music discussed was available at that time for commercial purpose, and he talks about how he sees the broadcasts on KPFA as a means to redress that. | | | Thus, while netlabels proliferate with free downloadable electronic music, much of it beat-driven and sample-derived, someone coming from the hip-hop side of the continuum is less likely to post anything gratis — not when any given track might yield a payday. |

| | Ambient and Experimental Music From The Bomp Bookshelf |
| | Electronic and Experimental Music: Foundations of New Music and New Listening | | | Some of the music I recognize from 'Ugly One With The Jewels', and some of it was even background music that Laurie Anderson did for Spalding Grey's movie 'Swimming to Cambodia' (and as far as I know, no soundtrack CD was ever released of that). | | | I'd have to say that this book is perhaps one of the definitive studies on this musical genre, covering the aesthetics, listening practica, concepts, influences, directions, and so on of this growing musical field in a very inclusive and insightful style. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Music for Airports [Ambient 1]: Music |
| | MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS stands against the prejudices of even the staunchest ambient music critics, partly because Eno did it first, but mostly because this disc is genuine, pure, and achingly beautiful. | | | Essentially, it's the kind of music one might hear in heaven, and Eno manages to present it without the pretense or cheese that typify most of what later became "new age" music. | | | Considered by many to be the ultimate ambient album, MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS is so delicate, lovely, and aesthetically moving, that it has been known to give rise to sensations of flying, being enfolded in warm blankets, or watching a vision take place in the heavens. |
