Summary/Abstract: „Ambient Music – Directions, Critique, Potential” is the last part of a series of texts on ambient music. In the first two pieces, both published in “Bulgarian Musicology”, the past and present of ambient were successfully outlined. Some of the most fundamental means and instruments, involved in the creation of this music were also discussed in detail. This text looks at the future of the genre and elaborates on some of the possible future directions – within or beyond the boundaries of music. Just like every other cultural phenomenon, ambient has its own controversies, paradoxes and critiques. Thesе, being additional reasons for its constant development, are also discussed here.
