[p]Okay, but one of the main characteristics of ambient soundscapes is the lack of rhythmic emphasis. :) Maybe you are trying to add an unexpected element?

It's supposed to be very calm & smooth. But if you want to include some forward motion sounding rhythm, then add syncopations. Make one voice fairly static rhythmically by having it just play on the downbeats, or just use whole notes or half notes!

Then have another voice play notes on the upbeats, the "ands" between the beats. Or make a melody that has a mixture of rhythmic values.

Anything that breaks up the static pulse is going to give it some motion. Hope that helps!
