FAQ – Luxury Music

How do I make a hotel lobby feel premium, not corporate?
Choose restrained harmony, soft highs, and a steady pulse that never chases attention. Natural instruments like piano, strings, light guitar. Minimal electronic textures add a modern sheen without crowding the room.

What volume and energy work for all-day background?
Keep music several dB under conversation and avoid harsh cymbals or sharp transients. Mid-slow grooves reduce fatigue; during peak hours lift energy slightly with a gentle beat, then return to softer beds after midnight.

Instrumental or song?
Instrumental beds suit lobbies, lounges, and openings where voices must lead. A light song feel can introduce brand films or short reels; keep vocals minimal and word-light to preserve clarity for captions and VO.

How do I avoid repetition over a long service window?
Build a three-palette rotation: piano, guitar, and soft strings. Loop stable middles with short crossfades, then land original endings at announcements or hour marks for a composed finish.

What BPM and instrumentation fit lobby, spa, and showroom?
Lobbies sit well around 80–95 BPM with piano and brushed percussion. Spas prefer slower pads and airy guitars near 60–80 BPM; showrooms handle 90–105 BPM with muted beats and clean electric lines for a polished glide.

How should I transition between a brand film intro, product shots, and the end card?
Open with a short sting that carries the logo, move into a low-distraction bed for product details, then finish with a clear button ending. If the edit runs long, insert a brief breath before the end card to let the last chord feel intentional.
