A genre of music that focuses on the "timbral" qualities of sounds, which is the aspect that allows a listener to differentiate between two sounds played at the same pitch and loudness. Ambient music is normally meant to have an atmospheric, visual, or unobtrusive quality to it. It is often used in video for the purpose of creating an atmospheric effect, enhancing the visual experience without becoming obtrusive or taking the viewer out of context. The type of ambient sound that I'm most interested are those dealing with nature. Naturally occuring sounds are often recorded and mixed with urban or "found" sounds to form a beat or just played in their random natural state. With the use of natural and urban sounds I hope to enhance the visuals or even concept of my stopmotion.
