Brian Eno, Lee Smolin, and How the Universe Is Like the Ultimate Generative Music - 0 views

  •  
    "I wondered why an artist like Brian would be interested in matters of spacetime and relativity. The more I got to know Brian, I knew it wasn't a time filler, or for his health. What I was about to discover during my two years in London was that Brian was something I've come to call a "sound cosmologist." He was investigating the structure of the universe, not inspired by music, but with music."

Brian Eno Composes Calming Music for Hospitals | Mindful - 1 views

  •  
    "Montefiore Hospital in the UK teamed up with ambient music artist Brian Eno in April 2013 to create a Quiet Room where patients can find relaxation and calm. Eno designed a light and sound installation for the room and for the reception area, including an original soundtrack of soothing instrumental tunes. Once the room has had a few inhabitants, there are plans to examine whether the patients who have sought solace there exhibit any beneficial physiological changes."

Deconstructing Brian Eno's Music for Airports | Reverb Machine - 0 views

  •  
    "In 1978, Brian Eno released Ambient 1: Music for Airports, a landmark album in ambient and electronic music. Although it wasn't the first ambient album by any means, it was the first album explicitly released as an 'ambient music album'. The album was essentially a continuation of Eno's experimentation with the tape machine as a compositional tool, as well as his exploration of generative music, music created by systems. In this article I'll discuss how Music for Airports was created, I'll break down and recreate the tracks 2/1 and 1/2, and hopefully give you some ideas about how to adopt this approach yourself."

JEAN JACQUES PERREY : Prelude Au Sommeil - 0 views

  •  
    "The music of Prélude Au Sommeil was intended as sleep-inducing and tranquilizing for use in mental hospitals. It is unclear if the copies pressed actually had been distributed to mental hospitals or if the whole story was just a fantastical joke on the part of Mr. Perrey. This album is known as a precursor of what would later became known as "ambient music", 20 years before Brian Eno, the Kosmic Courier and the American minimalists."

William Basinski - The Sound of Decay - 1 views

  •  
    "Brian Eno once said that "repetition is a form of change," but Basinski's tape loops physically revise that and bring the idea back as "repetition is change.""

The Man Who Recorded, Tamed and Then Sold Nature Sounds to America | Atlas Obscura - 1 views

  •  
    "If you flip on a waterfall to fall asleep, if you keep rainymood.com in your bookmarks, if you associate well-being with the sound of streams and crickets or wonder why the beach never quite sounds as tranquil as you imagine, it's because of Teibel. New York's least likely media mogul was the mastermind behind Environments, a series of records he swore were "The Future of Music." From 1969 to 1979, he took the best parts of nature, turned them up to 11, engraved them on 12-inch records, and sold them back to us by the millions. He had a musician's ear, an artist's heart, and a salesman's tongue, and his work lives on in yoga studios, Skymall catalogs, and the sea-blue eyes of Brian Eno. If you haven't heard of him, it's only because he designed his own legacy to be invisible. "
