Lucid Rhythms is a Youtube channel with long, slow, calm videos and streams generated by audio synthesis software written by sound designer Mirko Ruta. Ruta also has a separate YouTube channel for music synthesized by hardware- synths, sequencers, and modular contraptions.
Pretty good at putting my ADHD addled mind at peace. Perhaps just repeats a little too much, rather than expressing something similar across a theme (I only listened a bit to the first one).

Been listening to this channel for the past year or more. It's dreamy.

Start here: I was interested in the idea, read the whole lead here, went on over to the site, it loaded, I clicked play.
Elevator music -- loud elevator music -- in a building I want to get out out pronto. Not only is this bad elevator music blasting but the color scheme is horrible, loud as the music, some bad 70s orange yellow instant visual headache.
Or like those trickling water things some therapists have going in their office but it's not pleasant to listen to, it's distracting as hell, plus the water smells bad, and the therapist -- who you know chose their clothing carefully and thoughtfully that morning to present a conducive, healing atmosphere, has in fact dressed like a total dork, it's all you can do to keep from howling with laughter but not laughing at all that you're going to fork over a hundred bucks to this inept mope who smells funny when you finally escape their presence.
Which is to say: It's not for me. At all.

Only tangentially related, but just in case anyone's interested, here's 4+ hours of generative modular ambience made to evoke the Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack.

I probably have 4 hours of Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack on my hard drive already, not to mention the Los Angeles 2019 ambience tracks...
I have a lot of Blade Runner in my iTunes library.

I actually totally get this. I have to be in a certain specific mindset to appreciate this, and that mindset will often not last as long as the videos do. But sometimes it's just the thing.

How could it be "loud" elevator music? You control the volume. The sounds are too bright & saccharine for me, but they aren't loud because loud is relative, and you have control.
The modular synth videos have far more interesting tonality.
