I’d suggest that the music (or Muzak) which accompanied our elevator excursions has nowadays been shunted to the recorded filler that we hear on the telephone while on hold. Every bit as annoying and prefab.

So-called elevator music, if no longer in elevators, can still be found in supermarkets everywhere, seemingly adjusted to the supposed age groups of the customers. But perhaps the best elevator music of all is Miles Davis's score for l"Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud, "Elevator to the Gallows," a New Wave film by Louis Malle.
