A method of writing inspired by ambient music, where text functions as atmosphere rather than narrative. It drifts across time, expands emotion, and invites the reader to inhabit a state rather than follow a story. The writing unfolds slowly, like sustained sound, prioritizing tone, memory, and sensation over plot or explanation.

Not to be mistaken with the concept of ambient lietrature that is used by research groups to descibe situatied literary experience based on the environment of the readers.
