@JohnBrady I like the idea of encouraging audiences to wander—busying the body with what the brain was prolly already up to.
I suppose background music asks little of listeners, so can potentially can ask little of composers/musicians. I often put Lofi on in the background—I prefer the good stuff, but I’ve almost surely listened to some made by bots. This doesn’t have to be the case though.
There’s also attention-demanding music that’s “art music” and other music that’s demanding but not melodically complex (some punk, metal, etc?).
I think the Glass + Uakti album interests me in that I can give it all of my attention or next to none of it and it’s rewarding.
