Ambient music clips make great beds, background transitions and intro music and much more. This genre of electric music can be chopped up and used in any way you see fit — provided you get permission from the artist.
What Is Ambient Music?
Ambient music uses texture and mood instead of the song structures and rhythms you’d expect. This makes it an awesome choice for background music, films and movie trailers. It also works with meditation videos, yoga, education and any YouTube video intended to be calming, creepy, reflective or dreamy. In fact, it can conjure tons of different vibes.
