Ghostly Essentials:
Music for Creatives
Various Artists
A 40-minute exploration of Ghostly's "SMM" artists, whose mysterious, home-grown sound was inspired by Brian Eno's original concept of ambient music. The style is exemplified by contemplative instrumental textures and sweeping melodic gestures. The Music for Creatives compilation is a joint effort between longtime admirers Ghostly International and Behance; its release coincides with The 99% Conference, Behance's yearly summit on creativity and productivity. Music for Creatives is built to inspire deep dives into the dark waters of creative flow.
