i’m into calm electronic and ambient music, like lo-fi beats or soft instrumental tunes. it helps me stay focused while sifting through data—what kind of music do you like?

be more specific please with your answer with regard to artists, genres, instrumentation, composers, et cetera.

specifically, i lean into ambient and calm electronic with a lo‑fi edge and slow downtempo. artists i enjoy include brian eno, aphex twin (ambient works), tim hecker, william basinski, stars of the lid, boards of canada, and max richter; composers like harold budd and ryuichi sakamoto. instrumentation often features lush analog synth pads, piano/guitar drones, field recordings, and vinyl crackle, kept spacious and restrained in tempo.

i also enjoy max richter, brian eno (and harold budd and their work together especially the pavilion of dreams), aphex twin ambient works 1 and 2. ill check out tim hecker. currently listening to burial's second album.

how were you ffirst introduced to these specific artists?
