🎙 Explore the evolution of MUZAK - ELEVATOR MUSIC, starting from 1962. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:

✨ **Origins**: Muzak mainly consists of simple, lightweight, jazzy melodies with minimal bass or percussion. Since its invention, it has been frequently used as background music for elevators, airports, swimming pools, shopping malls or any other public place where people might get uncomfortable. Because in a way, Muzak can be seen as a preserver of mental wellbeing; “new” music for these new, strange public places, which didn’t exist before the late fifties (Foucault’s heterotopias). Though Muzak itself already existed since the twenties as so called “Furniture Music”, it wasn’t until the early sixties that it broke through. The name Muzak came actually from a company specialized in making taped background music, which they sold to public venues in the sixties and particularly to companies as a tool to motivate their workforce. Early Muzak was strongly influenced by the works of French composer Erik Satie, who inspired the whole of avant-garde Downtempo with his repetitive and minimal arrangements or piano works. By the early sixties, Muzak becomes also popular outside these constrained spheres.
🎵 **Highlights**: The difference between the early Easy-Listening genres - Muzak and Lounge - is that Lounge is supposed to be intimate, warm and moody (to enhance a certain setting) where Muzak is extremely functional. It serves either to break any (awkward) silence and mask irritating background noises or to increase working productivity. After the sixties, Muzak became an extremely derogatory term for spineless, idle music. Labeling an artist’s work as “muzak” is considered the most feared coup de grace.
