Pink NoiseHow to use chill music
- Hold your shots longer
- Calm tracks pair best with slow editing. Let a shot run three to five seconds instead of cutting on every beat.
- Let it lead in time-lapses
- For time-lapses, rain on a window or pour-over coffee, with no talking, you can turn the music up and let it carry the scene.
- Still duck it under talking
- Chill tracks don't fight much with speech, but melodic sections still clash with a voice, so bring the music down when you talk.
- Stream waiting screens
- A chill track on your starting soon screen or during a break helps keep viewers from drifting away.
- Product close-ups
- Slow, rotating shots of skincare, crafts or stationery look more polished with electric piano or soft synths underneath.
Chill, lofi and sleep: what's the difference?
This page is music for videos: slow, but with some movement, so it sits nicely under footage. The lofi station is mostly relaxed beats with drums, and the sleep station is slower and quieter, mostly without drums.
You can download tracks from all three; they're just for different jobs. Making a video? Start here. Want something playing while you study or work? Open the lofi or focus station. Going to bed? Open the sleep station.
Chill music questions
Can I use it in a livestream?
Yes. Play it before you go live, during breaks or while you chat, and keep it below your voice.
Can I use it commercially?
Yes. Brand videos, sponsored content and client projects are all included. The few things that aren't allowed are on the license page.
Can I keep it playing for hours?
This page plays one track at a time. For nonstop listening, open the lofi or focus station: it shuffles its tracks and has a sleep timer.
