You can still right-click on the video and paste the URL into your browser, which I did:  Björk - It's Oh So Quiet (HQ).

Nice, like silence after the concert, when the garbage is picked up. Time to go to bed.

I see it now on the previous post, but I'd rather not play it to keep enjoying that oh so quiet moment

Awesome. Would anyone be interested in a poll on what main genres of music everyone here does? If so, what would the main categories be? Rock, hip hop, EDM, jazz, funk, country,  blues...?

Ambient, classical, Tangerine Dream...

That's cool! I love it.

I've had an interest in ambient and told that one improvised piano focused piece of music I wrote seemed to fit the category. I know how to write rock/pop/R&B and even studied songwriting in my youth. But how would you recommend getting started with ambient songwriting? Beyond listening to ambient songs? More specifically,  to understand the general frameworks of the genre. For example,  how rock songs tend to be structured with an intro, verse, chorus and bridge/middle eight in various order..

I guess mine would be ambient-organic

Probably your best bet would be to search YouTube for tutorials by ambient producers. I have listened to various genres of progressive rock/ambient/new age music for decades but have never tried to seriously write it other than some noodles and scribbles here and there. I seriously doubt that it follows a pop rock song structure, but I'm sure there must be a discipline to writing the good stuff, at least in the A, B, A, C, A, B parts etc. Repeating the familiar is an old trick.
