Global musician and wellness advocate Moby has told Spa Business that while wonderful, most ambient music doesn’t allow people to switch off “because the people who make it want you to pay attention to it”.
He says: “What I had a hard time finding was ambient music just designed to sit in the background to provide an atmosphere of calm.”
This has prompted the music artist, who’s sold more than 20 million albums worldwide, to create his own chill-out tracks which he’s giving away for free. The Long Ambients1. Calm. Sleep album consists of 11 tracks and is available to download or stream and would make a great accompaniment for spas.
He describes the music as having “no drums, no vocals, just very slow, calm, pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga and etc.”
Moby explains: “Over the last couple of years, I’ve been making really, really, really quiet music to listen to when I do yoga or sleep or meditate or panic. I ended up with four hours of music and decided to give it away.”
A believer in wellness himself, Moby practices yoga and is known to visit spas occasionally. “When I travel, I’ll sometimes go to the spa if I’m staying in a nice hotel because if you have a day off in a strange city it can be a nice way to kill time,” he told Spa Business, but he adds that there’s still some way to go before consumers truly understand the concept.
“On the one hand it’s really nice people are paying attention to health and wellness, but on the other hand there’s still a disconnect. There’s an idea that you can treat yourself terribly, but if you go to a spa every now and then it’ll all work out.”
Moby who’s also a vegan, recently opened Little Pine, an organic vegan bistro in Los Angeles.
