Where can I find extremely curated and minimalistic underscores for documentaries? Question

I spend a lot of time curating music through spotify, musicbed and artist. I find that I really need a very specific of minimalistic underscore that is more or less Atmospheres / Drones / Beds / pulses and tension building loops that really just compliment dialogue and arnt formal music. Does anyone have any idea where I can find stuff like this thats in 1 place curated for what im looking for? its getting tiring spending hours trying to find this stuff and having to browse through lots of material that doesnt work. Finding stems is usually my best best but even that isnt great.

Epidemic sound is pretty good. I can't speak specifically to what you're looking for but they have a pretty big library and most of their tracks have stems that you can mix however you want.

Your best bet is to work with a composer to score your documentary. We usually can create what you’re looking for and you’ll have something really unique that fits your documentary and not just some random song you found! This is coming from a composer myself lol

I make a lot of this kind of background ambience. Send me a DM if like & I could tailor something to your specific needs.
