Elevator Music has endured many reputations eventually finding a permanent home as seemingly mundane ubiquitous background music throughout public spaces around the world. But the history of Elevator Music derives from very interesting beginnings. In 1934, Major General George Owen Squier developed a style of music called “Stimulus Progression” (or “musak”) for his company MUSAK designed to “humanize man-made environments where people work, shop, and recreate.” Music provided a sense of forwarding movement and mitigated tension, boredom, melancholy, and fatigue. It even became popular in the 1950s and 1960s including being introduced to the White House by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and used by NASA on space missions to soothe astronauts and help them focus.
