Indian Music Samay: The Complete Raga Cycle with a Modern Twist (10 Hours) | The Perpetual Lounge

10 Hours of relaxing music for stress relief, meditation music, and study music. This ambient instrumental music follows the sacred Samay tradition of Indian Ragas to guide you The Perpetual Lounge's cross-continental exploration of the "Samay" - the traditional Indian system that aligns specific Ragas with the cycles of the day and the human psyche. This 10-hour journey is a structural evolution of sound designed for inner peace, moving from the celebratory light of the day into the profound stillness of the midnight and early morning hours. We have architected this experience into four distinct quadrants. We begin with the joyful Raga Bhupali and the prayerful Raga Yaman, before descending into the deep devotion of Raga Kedar (Midnight). The journey concludes with the ascetic awakening of Raga Bairagi—a Raag traditionally played at dawn to clear the mind. Each Raag begins with its traditional roots—the Bansuri (Indian Flute) and Tabla—before expanding into a global fusion of Nyckelharpa, Koto, and Guzheng, eventually dissolving into a rhythm-free Cello drone. Whether used for healing meditation or as sleeping music for deep sleeping, the progression of acoustic instruments and atmospheric drones is designed to anchor your environment and reduce anxiety.
