AI music for meditation

Meditation music should be almost invisible: slow, steady and free of surprises. A sudden drum hit or bright melody can pull someone out of focus.

Length

5, 10, 20 and 30 minutes are common session lengths.

Levels and loudness

Keep levels low and dynamics even. Gentle compression helps avoid volume swells during a session.

Licensing

Paid plans cover use in guided meditation videos, courses and apps. The full terms are on the licensing page.

A workflow that works

  1. Pick the session length
  2. Describe the texture rather than a melody
  3. Ask for "no percussion" and "no sudden changes"
  4. Record the guiding voice over it
Avoid tracks that loop audibly every 30 seconds. Repetition becomes distracting.
