There is something that has always attracted me to ambient music. When done well, it provides you with a unique sense of smallness, revealing the sheer enormity of the world and the universe around you. Personally, I find that comforting - that the problems that keep me so bogged down in life aren't that important in the grand scheme. If the universe can create galaxies, solar systems, and planets within aeons of dark space - the understanding of which we have only just scratched the surface of - then surely I can take care of whatever I need to.
Simon Wilkinson is an artist that I stumbled upon last year and, while I love most of his music, the track that really stuck out was NEBULA DRIFT. A 23-minute long ambient track, it let me lose myself in a soundscape that evokes a lonely journey through the depths of space, just you as the lone witness of all the wonders we cannot even fathom here in our own little bubble. When you need to relax or just some sci-fi inspiration, put on the headphones, crank it up, and just listen.
