Compositional Ambient

Compositional Ambient is a genre of music that combines elements of ambient music with more traditional compositional techniques. It typically features long, slowly evolving soundscapes, often with a focus on texture and atmosphere rather than melody or rhythm. It often incorporates elements of classical, jazz, and world music, as well as field recordings and found sounds. It is often used as a form of background music, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone listening experience.
