Behind the music:

Drone and minimal background music often prioritize atmosphere over melody, using repetitive, sustained sounds to create a sense of space. These genres are marked by their simplicity, with a focus on subtle shifts in tone, texture, and rhythm. The lack of prominent melodic elements allows the listener to focus on the evolution of sound and the emotional undercurrent it creates. Minimalist compositions often use silence and space as key components, letting each note or sound breathe. These styles are frequently used in environments where the goal is to enhance focus or create a contemplative mood.
