from those styles as well as commonly including vibraphones and various instruments
from different parts of the world, such as congas, bongos, Indonesian and Burmese
gongs, bamboo sticks, Tahitian logs, Chinese bell trees, and Japanese kotos. Animal
noises such as bird calls, big cat roars and primate shrieks are often incorporated.

NewAge |
Serves to inspire relaxation and positive spiritual feelings. Its ethereal textures
and circular rhythms are often used by listeners for yoga, massage, meditation, stress
management, or to create a peaceful atmosphere, and the music is often created specifically
for such a purpose. Associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality. Individual
compositions sit on a spectrum from acoustic to electric, with many instances in-between.
Acoustic forms often incorporate flute, piano, and acoustic guitar in addition to
a variety of non-Western instruments, whereas electronic forms tend to contain sustained
synth pads and lengthy sequencer patterns. When present, vocals often consist of references
to different mythologies or chants inspired by Native American, Sanskrit and Tibetan
traditions. Emerged in the 1960s and attained major record label support by the 80s.
