Zen Music

Zen Music emerged in the 1970s, largely influenced by Eastern philosophies and the quest for inner peace, mainly through the efforts of those who probably spent more time meditating than learning to play instruments. Characterised by gentle melodies, ambient soundscapes, and enough tranquillity to make even the most hyperactive squirrel contemplate its life choices, it often sounds like a harmonious blend of nature recordings and soft synths. This genre has played a pivotal role in relaxation and mindfulness practices, making it a favourite for anyone hoping to escape reality without moving more than an inch, preferably whilst sipping herbal tea.
