Calming music for work

Updated on September 4, 2024

Music has a calming effect on the mind. For thousands of years, music has been created and it has pushed us forward. It's one of those things without which life would be quite meaningless.

I enjoy music from different cultures. When you search for calming music to listen to while working, most articles online point to the same kind of genres. It's like they're copying each other. They don't branch out into different cultures.

In this artcile, I want to introduce you to some things you've probably never heard of. Most of these are obsure and only enjoyed by a few. Some of these are genres and instructments. This is also an ever expanding list because the world is full of surpises and new things to find out.
