There has been a recent buzz in the entertainment world lately about something called ambient music. However, I've always done ambient sound (such as city, park, or outdoor sounds) and instrumental music apart based on my mood or the activity I was doing, so when I discovered ambient music through artists such as David Toop and Enzo, I was shocked to discover the benefits as well as the history of the genre I loved.
While not traditionally categorized as ambient artists (perhaps because of the materialism of their work), artists such as Etant Donnes, The Hafler Trio and V2 group in Netherlands, have conducted a number of remarkable sound sculptures using amplified frequencies generated internally and externally by physical objects such as the human body.

Forensic psychiatrist Dr. John Tully of London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience traces the form back to Bach and Chopin, and especially Erik Satie, who was the first to express the idea of music specifically as background sound,” and who had no qualms about music serving a specialized purpose.
I then cut out the elements that were most adversely affected by the time-stretching (particularly breaths and sibilant sounds) before creating a reversed duplicate part on a new track, so the forward and the reversed sections could be played simultaneously.

Tempo-sync'ed tremolos, or ‘choppers', can inject a strong rhythmic feel into any of the sustained sounds used in an ambient production.A technique for further experimentation with such sounds is to use the aforementioned tempo-linked chopping tactic, using a square-wave-driven tremolo plug-in to modulate the voice.
Watertube” starts as a synth and magnetic-tape based ambient soundscape that slowly adds what appears to be a prepared piano which eventually competes for audibility with a phrase that evokes the titular watertube, treated, looped and stacked as it phase-shifts producing a busy polyrhythm that asynchronously gurgles and bubbles, approaching but never breaking into chaos.
I believe there is a natural progression from Chopin through Satie to the works of Bill Evans and other jazz musicians in the 20th century, and later to minimalist contemporary composers like Phillip Glass In this way, the category of ambient music was in emergence well before Brian Eno and others formalised it in the 1970s.

Ambient music clearly has the possibility of being used for a variety of functions, and one of these is as soundtrack for television or film. That list could go on and on (and on and on), and the critical mass of ambient releases undoubtedly contributed to the burgeoning number of opportunities to experience the music outside of one's cosy nest.
Ambient music has also helped to spawn more recognisably pop” subgenres like shoegazing (Ride, Slowdive, Catherine Wheel) and dreampop (Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star), both of which pit dreamy vocals against lush washes of sound. We created that kind of ambient music, then Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi encouraged us to keep doing what we were doing, and we really did not expect to get that support,” Hinata says.
And sure enough, you can get immersive files that are 3rd order ambisonics for listening in other speaker configurations. Once files have been added atmospheric background as tracks to the segment, you can access them through the Music Segment Editor, where tracks can be arranged and edited within the Music Segment.

Other recent exponents of the ambient tradition include critically acclaimed ECM artists such as Tord Gustavsen , and Nils Frahm , who plays two sold out shows at the Barbican next February. You can modify the sound of an instrument and record its sounds. Today, ambient” is used to describe not only much of Eno's work, but a whole genre originating from before Eno coined the term to music released by other contemporary artists.
