When you think of music, you probably don’t primarily think of monotonously continuous melodies, rippling rivers, the sound of rain and instrumental pieces – and yet precisely this type of background music is becoming more and more popular. Because if you’re actually busy, concentrated or stressed out with something else, you usually don’t need songs that also stir you up or encourage you to sing along. Music then acts more as a calming element that relaxes and decelerates.
