-Sound has been historically explored as a tool to induce and sustain states of mind, including [[Relaxation]]. At a fundamental level the idea is to create a resonance between the stimuli and the listener's inner psychophysiological systems through some [[Entrainment]] process, in a state that matches the intended emotion state. In the field of Music this has been done and documented for ages. Cinema also has adopted and adapted the use of [[Music]] to lead the listener to a certain state of mind. In turn, the game industry has considered techniques both from film practice and [[Music]], not forgetting the [[particularities]] of the media, which open new opportunities and call for [[specific approaches]] to [[Music]].

 For [[#Additional|historical reasons]], [[Music]] is the most explored means to implement [[Relaxation]]. Yet, other sound explorations, namely those that, in turn, resort to [[Entrainment]] techniques, have been effectively used, too. [[Ambiance]] is also commonly explored in association with [[Relaxation]], usually portraying an acoustic environment that is pleasing and not too demanding in terms of attention (which also means not too overloaded with "pleasing" elements).
-The [[Aesthetics|Aesthetic]] qualities of the acoustic composition may also be relevant to [[Relaxation]]. Qualities that may be considered positive (e.g. "pleasing") are more prone to induce relaxation that those that may be perceived as negative. Nevertheless, it may also be argued that an excessive (positive) appreciation for the composition, per se, may be counterproductive. To start with, because it can mean an increased level of arousal that would no longer be perceived as [[Relaxation]]; but also because such appreciation may divert the player from the immersion in the game world to an appreciation of the game product itself (which may counter the design intent).
