What is Ambient Music

In most styles of music, you have something that is directing the focus of the listener. Like a melody, riff or hook of some kind. Well, in ambient music, you want to avoid sharp hooks. In fact, you want to avoid anything that is sharp in any aspect at all. Basically ambient music should not have any strong focus.

Ambient music is more about creating a dreamlike world, and dreams have a cloud-like and unfocused aspect to them. As a composer of ambient music, your mission is to create an atmosphere, a landscape of sounds.
