Ambient 1:Music For Airports
Description
Product description CD This complex sound sculpture was created by
Brian Eno in 1978 and was even installed for a while at the Marine Terminal of
New York at LaGuardia Airport. The ambient-minimalist soundscape has been
alternately described as background Muzak, a profoundly artificial musical
milieu, and a groundbreaking studio creation. Eno designed Music for Airports
from a few simple notes and the serial organization of variable tape loops
that didn’t quite match up. It’s a groundbreaking elaboration on the
aural/spatial dimension that utilizes silence, piano, synthesizer, female
voices, and, most importantly, the technology of the studio. A true
metaclassic, the “music” is divided into four distinct movements. This record
is the first of Eno’s ambient series and is undoubtedly the best. –Mitch
