Background music refers to music which is not intended to be a primary focus of potential listeners. There are two types of background music: live background music performed by musicians and singers and pre-recorded music.

What is the purpose of background music?
The purpose of background music is to fill silence, but not to be listened to, too carefully yet create an atmosphere. Thus the repertoire and volume level of background music is deliberately chosen and can affect behavioral and emotional responses of the listeners.

What are the benefits of hiring background music?
Music subconsciously affects people’s mood, energy levels, memory recall and sometimes behaviour. Music can also heighten people’s sense of connection to people, experiences and spaces – even businesses. Consequently quiet music can still be emotionally evocative. Researchers have found that it can affect, for example:

• Retail – a customer’s perception of how much time has passed while waiting in a queue, how co-operative shoppers are with sales staff, and even which country of a wine to choose!
• Dining – how fast diners chew at a faster pace when higher-tempo music was played while another study found that diners were willing to spend more money when classical music was played in the background than when there was no music at all.
• Weddings – guests energy – slow songs can lull the energy at wedding
• Corporate events – subtle background music at corporate events can make guests feel calm, while music between conference talks gives the audience time to relax and take their mind off work.

What to consider when hiring live background music:

• Get the balance right – the music should be impressive but not overpowering.
• Choose the right act for your event – even though the background musicians are in the background, they contribute to the scene and atmosphere of the venue.
• Choose the right music genre for your occasion and guests.
