  Encyclopedia: Brian Eno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Eno was educated at the Ipswich Art School and the Winchester School of Art, graduating from the latter in 1969.
Eno describes himself as a "non-musician" and coined the term "treatments" to describe his modification of the sound of musical instruments, and to separate his role from that of the traditional instrumentalist.
Eno also pioneered sampling and the use of found sounds on My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, a collaboration with David Byrne released in 1981; again it would be some years before the rest of the world fully cottoned on to these ideas.

 Brian Eno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eno first came to prominence as the keyboard and synthesiser player and general sonic wizard of the 1970's Glam Rock and Art Rock band Roxy Music (see 1970s in music).
Public interest in Eno fuelled a rivalry between him and Roxy's leader, Bryan Ferry, who sacked him from the band on completion of the tour for their second album, while expecting Eno to keep his share of the band's considerable debts.
Eno continued his career by producing a larger number of highly eclectic and increasingly ambient electronic and acoustic albums.

 Enography
The Brian Eno character, a being that is constantly replaced with an exact copy, is filtered through the last thirty five years of musical development as if he has always been at the right place in the right time.
It is as if the latest Eno character is part of some transformation in the story that will eventually result in Eno becoming some kind of machine, as if all of this has been to prepare him and us for this ultimate progression from human being to technological figment of the imagination.
This is the timeless Eno functioning in a world beyond commerce, producing music that is beyond obscure, and which flows as if through a dream the young art student Eno might have had about how music can be an exquisite recording of the unsentimental romantic spirit.

Brian Eno, often considered one of Western music's most articulate musicians, producers and musicologists referred to Fela often in interviews dating back to the 70s, placing him in a class by himself.
Eno's theory of the "discreet music" he called ambient was far from the modern chill-out room: the idea was that it should function at very low volumes, unobtrusively coloring the atmosphere of a room.

Even the most seasoned and forgiving Eno fans on the internet are currently articulating their dislike for it.
It could be that Eno has broken through some new barrier that few particularly find welcome (hence the name), or it could be he has resoundingly struck a wrong note for once.
The thing about Eno is: his thoughts on everything from electronic pornography to vegetarian cooking to the situation in Bosnia are wildly original and eccentric, yet always lucid and functional.

 Brian Eno in the '70s
Brian Eno was many wonderful things during the 1970's, an unusually awful decade: he was a prog-rock god, an in-demand producer, a classical composer, a forefather of punk/new wave, and the creator of ambient music.
In 1971, Eno joined Roxy Music, a seminal 70's art-rock band; playing synths and manipulating the other's instruments, something he called "treatments." He would take the sounds of the instruments being played and feed them into his synth, where he would mess with the sound itself, changing the frequencies involved to create an altered sound.
Eno is less in his own here, and although some of his ideas do surface now and then, this is truly a solo Bowie album, unlike the last two albums.

My understanding of Brian Eno's take on ambient music is (if I may paraphrase such a complex definition) it is as easily ignorable as it is listenable.

 BRIAN ENO -“EARLY WORKS” REISSUES
Eno said that he was interested in the Borgesian idea that you could invent a world in reverse, by inventing the artefacts that ought to be in it first.
Eno was still playing with structure in a non-structural way, and, god help us, vice versa, allowing the songs to sink into themselves, into a world in space where they are all on their own, where they could dissolve into pure mood and presence.
Eno is just responding to the astronaut who says he would look out of the porthole at the space all around him and listen to country and western music.

 Brian Eno - Music For Films - Review
As mentioned before, Eno collaborates with lots of different people on the album and most of the contributions are that of one instrument in a track.
On the three part "Sparrowfall," Eno uses the first part to combine a piano with some nice synth, while the second part of the track finds some synth strings coming into the mix and the synth part of the track growing more eerie.
Since the time that the pieces were composed (the late 70s), Eno has continued to create lots of music (as well as art installations and interactive pieces), but his early work proves that he has always been important as a musician and innovator.

 Tiny Mix Tapes: Brian Eno Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The songs are mellow and subdued, but poignant and invigorating in their own way, and of course, there is a wealth of ambiance underneath it all as well.
Most importantly, Eno discovers there is more beauty and worth in the discreet nuances of subtle sophistication than in all the blunted bluster in the world.
With Another Green World Eno builds a record full of half finished pop songs distracted by the world of possibilities open to them, and instead of carrying on to their logical conclusions, they slowed, stopped and drifted off into new directions previously unconsidered.

The park is named for the Eno Indians, who, along with the Shakori and Occoneechee tribes, lived near the river prior to European settlement.
Like many other natural treasures, efforts to preserve a portion of the Eno did not begin until the area was threatened with destruction.
Concerned citizens responded with the formation of the Association for the Preservation of the Eno Valley (now called the Eno River Association) in October of 1966, and a spirited lobbying campaign for the river's protection ensued.

 Brian Eno - Ambient One Music For Airports - Review
The second track is made up of synthed-out sweeps of three different female vocal parts and although it's pretty for awhile, the 8-minute time frame on the track seems a bit long.
Still, this is "discreet music" (as Eno labeled) it and not necessarily meant for determined listening.
The third movement is sort of a combination of the first two tracks, although the piano part from the first piece has morphed into something slightly different to fit better with the sweep of vocals.

On Damage, in collaboration with Lol Hammond, Eno brings a level of harmonic sophistication to the proceedings that is generally missing from the world of techno, not to mention a contemplative, almost pastoral sensibility.

A pioneer in tape-looping and other early forms of sonic manipulation, Eno's work with Robert Fripp in the early 1970s (No Pussyfooting' and Evening 5tar), signalled a determination to look beyond the conventional song format.
Now visiting professor at the Royal College of Art, Eno collaborated with Laurie Anderson and some of his students earlier in '95 for the Self-Storage installation in Wembley, London.

 Ground and Sky review - Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets
I read that Eno named the title track (instrumental) “Here Come the Warm Jets” because it was meant to describe the actual sound of the heavily processed guitar, which has a very warm tone with strong but blurry distortion.
The pacing of the instrumental itself is striking in its liftoff, ascent, and descent.
Eno effortlessly shifts from ridiculous proto-new wave ("Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch") to the darkly humorous ("Baby's on Fire") to the just plain weird ("Driving Me Backwards") on the first side alone.

Eno, Bowie et al may have been having a great time in Berlin but this album to me does not represent anything significant in the genre that Eno and the "Krautrockers" developed.
Eno and Bowie were the main advocates of a new direction and were together some of the major movers in achieving the cross fertilization.
Cluster and Eno is but one of three collaborative efforts previously available on CD but now reissued with a bigger, louder and cleaner sound.

Today Brian Eno is best known as a visionary, founding theorist of ambient music, and the wildly successful producer of David Bowie, Devo, Talking Heads, and U2.
Shortly thereafter he was introduced to the synthesizer and a man with no formal musical training found himself in one of the most influential bands in the history of rock.
Eno would come in and say 'Roll the tape,' and he'd go in the studio and count from 1 to 100 onto the tape.

Finally, a Brian Eno CD for me. It is always interesting, often gorgeous and, quite frankly, it sounds better on ear phones.

Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk in May 1948.
Sprung from a long line of postmen, he received a 1960's education, experimenting with a tape recorder as his primary instrument, the young artist moved to London during 1969, before bumping into a former acquaintance named Andy Mackay, somewhere along the Northern Line.
Joining Roxy Music, the new band with whom Mackay was currently engaged in playing saxophone, Eno burst upon public awareness as the central pillar of the decadent, inventive, glam rock period of British pop.

Eno's '70s "pop" albums were part of a different age and represented a different Eno, one who'd laid the groundwork for glam with Roxy Music and was, for all his eccentricities, very much a rock artist.
Closer to Eno's ambient works of the '80s and '90s, it melds song form and traditional lyric-based templates with a floating, ethereal sonic palette.
Eno's first "vocal" album for 20 odd years isn't the quirky, manic pop of the 70s but rather a continuation of the chillout ambient sound of Drawn From Life with treated vocals.

Now J. Peter Schwalm, the young German DJ with whom Eno collaborated on his first album in four years, Drawn From Life, is sitting at the control desk, manipulating the improv into something new.
It's part of an experiment to make "self-generating music, music designed to have a life of its own," Eno explains, as he scribbles diagrams on Post-It notes, still every bit the eccentric computer wizard we expect him to be.
Eno and Schwalm have been working together, jamming as well as individually recording pieces of music that they send to each other (Schwalm, an avant-garde hip-hop DJ, has his own studio in Frankfurt) for yet more additions and manipulations.

 Wired News: New Eno Music Gets 'Generative'
There are, however, a few music-making programs Eno does like to use, including the Koan Pro software synthesizer from Sseyo (pronounced "say-oh").
Eno likes the program because he can set general musical rules and parameters for a song within Koan, and the program will then play variations within those guidelines on its own.
The style, which Eno has been monkeying with since the early 1970s, is known as "generative music," and it couldn't be more different from the ultra-careful, computer-made tunes that Eno so despises.

 Tamm on Eno   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The main difference between the published book and the dissertation is that the dissertation had a number of notated musical examples.
The short answer is No. Occasionally I hear something new by them, and reflect on it and enjoy it -- but it's a big world of music out there, and today you're much more likely to find me sight-reading eternal Bach 4-part chorales at the keyboard or learning the latest tune by Smashmouth.
My next book will be about (pick one): vision dreams and the collective unconscious; speech patterns as music; the coming globabl ecological disaster; or the interaction of native American tribes with the Russian colonists on the Sonoma, California coast in the early 19th century.

The title was to be Raphael to Eno: it traced the lineage of pupil and teacher back through Frank Auerbach, Bomberg, Sickert etc. until, after an obscure group of French Peintres du Roy, it emerged via Primaticcio into the light of Raphael.
Brian Eno as a student of mine (initially at Ipswich in the early sixties) therefore continues that strange genealogy of influence as the twenty-first.
In one of the studies he is seen (since he is sitting in the chair occupied on other days by Iris Murdoch and Michael Kustow) as yet another trapped in the context of Titian's Flaying of Marsyas.
