What exactly we can call a relaxation music? The experts consider melodious tracks with ethnic music to belong to this style, New age, Noise, sometimes some electronic music, sounds of the nature, eastern meditative songs, traditional Chinese singing, and many others. What does belong to sounds of the nature? As a rule, birdsong, wash, palpitation of the leaves are used during recording of such songs. It is not possible to hear a wallop of the waterfall or rhythmic wash in the city. For this purpose, the most known sounds were recorded on carriers, arranged, and then were called “music of the nature”. Curiously enough, that singing of blue rorquals, peals of thunder, cicadas and crickets’ chirring, wolf's howl belong to this kind of “music”. Sounds of the nature- are the sounds that you probably never meet in wildlife, but which help you to create a necessary atmosphere of staying in the mountains or by the sea.
