Meditation

Meditation music emerged in the 1960s, primarily from New Age artists who realised that gentle sounds could help people avoid their to-do lists and sink into blissful nothingness. Characterised by soothing melodies, ambient noises, and often a distinct lack of drum kits, it’s the sound of your brain finally saying, 'No, dear, we’re not thinking about that spreadsheet right now.' Cross-legged yogis and frazzled office workers alike have found solace in its tranquil embrace, proving that a bit of calm can come from the most unexpected places, like a cheap yoga studio or a particularly zen garden centre.
