A genre of ambient music for work or study. It is defined by being music that is *not* for listening i.e. underscore or undercurrent. Unobtrusive, calming, simple, reflective. The tonal quality of sounds is more important than melody. There may be chant (sacred or choral), binaural or other tonal/ rhythmic elements known to produce calming effect. There is typically ambient embellishment (e.g. sounds from nature). It is *not* elevator music miss you Astrud.
Unfortunately, the workspace ambient had sent the entire staff into a deep, peaceful sleep and productivity plunged that day... Just joking. Workspace ambient saved the day - 423% increase in staff productivity, no office arguments, and the the boss gave everyone bonus salary!
