Space music

Space music (aka spacemusic) is a subgenre of New Age Music and Ambient Music, used to describe music that evokes a feeling of contemplative spaciousness or sensations of flying, floating, cruising, gliding, or hovering. Space music can be found within a wide range of genres. It is particularly associated with ambient, New Age, and electronic music. Space music ranges from simple to complex sonic textures, typically evoking a continuum of spatial imagery and emotion, beneficial introspection, attentiveness for deep listening, subtle trance effects called "spacey", and psychoacoustic spatial perceptions.
