Space music is a genre and style of music often without conventional melodic, rhythmic, or vocal components, which can give the listener a sense of spatial consciousness to include floating, flying, cruising, and cosmically expanding. These sensations are accomplished when artists compose complex sonic textures onto which listeners project vast auditory landscapes, seascapes, and spacescapes. Space music encourages the listener to explore due to its primary evocative character. Evocative means "serving to bring to mind".

Space music as a genre exists because of a kind of meta composition which evolved during program assembly by radio producers Stephen Hill and Anna Turner, who also coined the name. In 1973 on KPFA in Berkeley, California, Hill and Turner discovered that segue assembly of matching "spacey" instrumental pieces by various artists, emphasized otherwise fleeting space music sensations and sustained them for hours. This multipurpose music has since been used in planetariums and for movie soundtracks, to stimulate and explore the imagination. Space music and related genre recordings are also used for relaxation, the healing of mind and body, and more.
