The thread title is stupid because I cannot think of a better way to explain what I'm after in one sentence, but basically I am looking for music which compositionally is most like ambient music, but with the main driving instrument being a piano.
The best points of reference I can think of are the film American Beauty and more recently the TV series House M.D.. Both of those make use of very tranquil and open, almost "airy" sounding compositions in the background music. Very mellow and somewhat melancholic.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about and can think of any artists that make that kind of thing.
