Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

 

 

Ambient.

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno[1]

(born 15 May 1948), commonly known as simply Brian Eno

(pronounced /ˈiːnoʊ/), is an English musician, composer,

record producer, music theorist and singer, who, as a solo artist,

is best known as one of the principal innovators of ambient music.[***]

Eno studied at art school, taking inspiration from minimalist painting,

but he had little musical education or playing experience when he

joined the band Roxy Music as their keyboards and

synthesisers player in the early 1970s.

Roxy Music's success

in the glam rock scene came quickly, but Eno soon tired of touring, and

he left the group after the release of For Your Pleasure (1973),

beginning his solo career with Here Come the Warm Jets (1973)

and Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974).

Eno extended his reach into more experimental musical styles with (No Pussyfooting) (1973) (a collaboration with Robert Fripp), Another Green World (1975) and Discreet Music (1975). His pioneering efforts at "sonic landscapes" began to consume more of his time beginning with Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978) and later Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks (1983) which was composed for the documentary film For All Mankind. Eno nevertheless continued to sing on some of his records, ranging from Before and After Science (1977) to Another Day on Earth (2005).

Eno's solo work was extremely influential, pioneering ambient and generative music, innovating production techniques, and emphasizing "theory over practice."[3] He also introduced the concept of chance music to popular audiences partly through collaborations with other musicians.[4] By the end of the 1970s, Eno had worked with David Bowie on the avant-garde "Berlin Trilogy," helped popularise the American punk rock band Devo and the punk-influenced "No Wave" genre, and had begun to work frequently with Harold Budd, John Cale, Cluster, Robert Fripp and David Byrne, with whom he produced the influential My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981). He produced three albums by Talking Heads, including Remain in Light (1980), produced seven albums for U2, including The Joshua Tree (1987), and worked on records by James, Laurie Anderson, Coldplay, Paul Simon, and Slowdive, among others.

As an artist, Brian Eno pursues ventures in parallel to his music career: art installations, a newspaper column in The Observer, and "Oblique Strategies" (written with Peter Schmidt), a deck of cards wherein each card has a cryptic remark or random insight meant to resolve a dilemma. He continues to collaborate with other musicians, produce records, release his own music, and write.
