Background music for work

Light and easy on the ear. For email, admin and the shallow end of the day.

For the work that does not need silence

Not every task needs the blank canvas that Focus gives you. Clearing an inbox, filing expenses, tidying a spreadsheet or working through a queue of small things is easier with something in the room. Background is that: light instrumental music with a pulse to it, warm rather than intense, and never loud.

It is also the channel to leave on in a shared space. It reads as pleasant to people who are not listening for it, which is the thing most playlists get wrong in an office.

Playing it in a business

The recordings are licensed under CC BY 4.0, which permits public and commercial playback provided the composer is credited. That makes this a straightforward option for a café, shop, studio or office, where a consumer streaming subscription usually is not licensed for it. The credits page lists every track and the exact attribution wording.

Questions

  • Can I play this in my shop or café?

    Yes, with attribution. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial and public performance as long as you credit the composer. Read the credits page for how.

  • Is there anything with vocals?

    No. Every channel on Longwave is instrumental. Lyrics compete directly with reading and writing, so there are none.
