It's like Ambient Music was made for Aspies.

I enjoy it. In fact I don't like music that is cluttered, it is extremely stressing and irritating. I have to be able to feel the black space between the notes. The music needs to have breathing room.

My favorite music is what some call smooth jazz or yacht rock. They used to have a dedicated station around here but not anymore. Examples are Al Jarreau, Basia, James Ingram, Jeffrey Osborne, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, Gino Vanelli, Anita Baker, Luther Vandross.....

There is a TV station called eScapes TV. Amazing stuff. They play all this kind of music, accompanied by long blocks of recorded footage of sunsets, bridges, lighthouses, city coastlines, etc. It's based in Michigan so a high percentage of it is local footage. But they stopped broadcasting it on c-band so I can't get it anymore until high speed internet comes my way.
 
I play an on demand cable station all day at home that has nothing but ambient, meditation and soft nature sounds. Sleep to it also. And they stream nature photos continuous.
But, when out in public I like 70's and 80's rock. And go to all the rock concerts from that era that are still playing that I can.
I play it in the car constantly when driving.
 
When I'm stressed out, I will listen to what I call "spa music" - soft instrumentals, flutes, nature sounds, calming melodies, trickling water, wind chimes, ocean waves and bird songs. Otherwise, I tend to listen to rock songs from past decades. I don't like metal, rap, or anything with screaming vocalists or hyperactive rhythms. Some of that stuff is so bad (to my ears) that I don't even consider it "music". It's just noise. Soft, traditional jazz fits my mood sometimes, too.

I should add that I like a lot of classical music, too.

I can't listen to music at night. I only like spoken word which can be anything from a comedy station to a radio phone-in.
