The genre has been shaped by visionaries like Brian Eno (who coined the term), Aphex Twin, Stars of the Lid, and Ólafur Arnalds who create immersive sonic landscapes, whose work defines what ambient music can sound and feel like. Whether the genre has centuries of tradition behind it or only emerged in recent decades, the artists on this chart are its current standard-bearers.
