Music, to create atmosphere (3)
I believe the answer is:
air
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'music' is the first definition.
(air is a kind of music)
'atmosphere' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'to create' is the link.
(Other definitions for air that I've seen before include "Ventilate, say grievance" , "Broadcast; mien" , "Sky" , "what emerges from singer's lungs?" , "Demeanour" .)
