	BRIAN ENO / AMBIENT 1: MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS
		Airports are the modern point of departure and they are places where reunions occur and separations begin as people move back and forth.
		Airports are also places of duty-free commerce, blaring announcements, boredom and tension.
		For Eno, ambient music (as he was to call it) was simultaneously able to engage the listener at louder volumes with depth and complexity but as well could be brought down to the level of color, tint, or texture to an environment.

	Royalty Free Music For Airports
		The use of high quality, affordable background music and music on-hold is an important way to improve the quality of time busy travelers must spend in airports and on-hold on the telephone obtaining flight information.
		Airports serve a variety of clients with different musical tastes, and the library at Award Winning Music contains hundreds of tracks of royalty free music for airports that will entertain and engage any customer.
		The tracks of royalty free music for airports in "Classical Music Volume 1" delights and soothes discerning customers with traditional classical compositions by distinguished composers such as Lizst and Grieg, and works excellently as background music in the terminals or check-in areas, or as on-hold music for travelers calling airports to get up-to-date flight information.

	Ambient music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ambient music is a loosely defined musical genre that incorporates elements of a number of different styles - including jazz, electronic music, new age, rock and roll, modern classical music, reggae, traditional, world and even noise.
		He referred to some of his music as 'furniture music' (or more literally, 'music for the furniture') and 'music to mingle with knives and forks', referring to something that could be played during dinner and would simply create an atmosphere for that activity rather than be the focus of attention.
		Under the guise of various styles, ambient electronic music (sometimes referred to as ambient techno or ambient dub) saw the birth of a new wave of electronic music in the works of artists like The Orb, Aphex Twin and the Irresistible Force.

		As he laid out in the liner notes to Ambient 1: Music for Airports, Eno composed his ambient music to "...accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." Not exactly a recipe for a life-changing music experience.
		Eno was too weak to rectify the situation, and he found that the low level of the music made for an interesting blend with the rest of the sound environment.
		Music for Airports is just that, the Budd collaboration is close to minimalist composition, the Laraaji record probes Eastern modalities, and then On Land is an exploration of a psychic landscape.

	Generative Music - Brian Eno - In Motion Magazine
		It began as a musical idea, it began as something I heard in music and gradually I realized that in fact it was an idea that was occurring in all sorts of areas.
		Music for Airports, at least one of the pieces on there, is structurally very, very simple.
		Generative music is sensitive to circumstances, that is to say it will react differently depending on its initial condition, on where it's happening and so on.

	Ambient Music
		The complementary forces of impressionist and expressionist artistic styles are an integral part of the modernist and post-modernist palette, and ambient music serves as the impressionist counterpart to the expressionist mainstream of the current musical culture.
		Music is an intensely personal experience, and I don't intend to encroach upon any particular person's feelings in that regard.
		While the album could serve as ideal background music, as the name itself implies: careful, unobtrusive, uniform in dynamics, and calculated in texture, the listener finds that the experience becomes less and less passive, and he begins to anticipate every next note, an interactive guessing game of pitch, harmony, and rhythmic placement.

	Background music brought to the fore - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Living / Arts - News
		It was one of his first exercises in ''ambient music" -- music meant to ''accommodate many levels of listening attention, without enforcing one in particular," he wrote in his now famous liner notes to the album.
		Over the next 20 years, ''Music for Airports" became a cult classic, and the composers of New York's Bang on a Can musical collective decided to create a version that could be performed live.
		Performing music that in one sense is not meant to be listened to presents special challenges.

	Ziporyn draws musical inspirations from Bali, Eno - MIT News Office
		Evan Ziporyn, professor of music and founder of MIT's Gamelan Galak Tika, presented segments of his own compositions, his arrangement of Brian Eno's "Music for Airports" and a new work, "Partial Truths," as well as insights into his creative process at a recent session in the Arts Colloquium series.
		From an early age, I was interested in the music of other cultures and in the function of music and all its roles and uses in community," said Professor Ziporyn.
		One was his discovery of musical life in a village in Bali, which led him to explore the Gamelan and to found the MIT group.

	Brian Eno - Ambient One Music For Airports - Review
		It was created way back in the 1970's, and although different artists had created ambient music before this, it was sort of a groundbreaking release in it's stark minimal-ness.
		It's like 50 minutes of wallpaper music and the term "ambient" music was actually coined by Eno near to the release of this disc.
		As with all ambient music of the minimal variety, whether you like it or not depends on your tolerance of both repetitive-ness and the quiet nature of the music itself.

		In this the music is much like Music for Airports, in that it meets the conditions Eno stated in the liner notes for Music...
		For quieter, less active situations, the music is at times too rambunctious: Coltrane and Cannonball's solos, in particular, are played with strong, hard-to-ignore attacks, thus violating Eno's rule of thumb.
		This is the kind of motion shared by Eno's compositions on Music for Airports, and Satie's in the Gymnopedies.

		The artist learns a craft, but also a thought process that demonstrates a constant awareness of his or her continuity with the past, importance in the present, and meaning for the future-- every artist is equal parts analyst, critic, and salesperson.
		In music, this figure took the form of his own voice, a cohesive melody, and other evidence of human intervention-- by eliminating these, he created a sense of space where there was once an object.
		The difference is that John Cage saw even musical basics like tonality and harmony-- the things that lend music emotional content-- as subject to his own theoretical rigidity, making some of his work ultimately uninviting to an average listener.

		But the unique factor about Eno's work was that although it could and can exist in the background of everyday life it is music that carries a potency and integrity that goes far beyond the incidental.
		It's music that is carefully, beautifully, brilliantly constructed and its compositional techniques rival the most intricate of symphonies.
		Ambient music is intended to induce calm and a space to think.

		The term "Ambient" music was first coined by BRIAN ENO in 1978 in his album "Music for Airports", after having recorded the first of a series of ambient albums as a duo with King Crimson´s guitarist ROBERT FRIPP in a new vision of atmospheric music nearer to concrete and vanguard music.
		Ambient music is characterized by relaxed and environmental sound atmospheres, very often related with sound experimentalism.
		PIERRE SCHAEFFER's Concrete music was another influencial element in the manipulation of recorded ambient sounds.

		Music for Airports on the other hand is meticulously crafted for control to be given up over one particular aspect of the process.
		This is a form of music that is nearly impossible to produce legally now, and when possible it requires extraordinary amounts of cash...
		Of course its death is not necessarily all bad, the minimalist sampling of DJ Premier and the RZA and the synth driven sonics of Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Manny Fresh are clear legal and sonic counterpoints to Bomb Squad overdrive.

	Brian Eno: Ambient 1: Music for Airports [reissue] - PopMatters Music Review
		Ambient 1: Music for Airports is a willfully perverse musical statement, one of unlimited contradictions and no small genius.
		The sounds on Music for Airports possess an endless mutability of mood, which is to say that rather than inspiring a specific set of emotions, they instead reflect the inherent emotions of the listener.
		And with the electronic music explosion of the late '80s and early '90s, Ambient gained a new and unparalleled currency, and by common consensus the greatest Ambient work of that era is Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, a confection produced by Dr. Alex Patterson under the moniker of the Orb.

	TWAS 186: Brian Eno, Bang on a Can, Aube
		This is music born of the same socio-technical optimism as moving walkways, recessed lighting, international iconography, white courtesy telephones, retractable boarding-tunnels and articulated baggage-carousels.
		Airport design has been pirated by supermarkets, shopping malls, intersections and magazines; the surface characteristics of ambient music have been wrapped around nature-special soundtracks, news telecasts, film climaxes and computer operating systems.
		Translating Music for Airports to a human performance is, as they concede in the liner notes, vaguely perverse, but in my mourning for the vanished dreams of the original, recasting and recapturing the music for people seems inspiring and ingenious.

		Years later, when electronic music dance music began to spread across the globe, ambient music flourished as a soothing counterpart to the hyperactivity of the dance floor.
		Ambient music became popularly known as a form of electronic music that had been stripped of most (if not all) of its beats and vocals, leaving only the soothing electronic sounds and melodies.
		The music is grand and stately, drenched with reverb, full of hauntingly beautiful atmospherics, music that seems to reach up and trace the sky's apse.

	Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music for Airports
		Yet 25 years later, ambient music has grown to be a busy category of music, and countless musicians name Eno and his ambient music as an inspiration.
		Eno felt that Muzak had created music that was so lightweight and derivative that it had effectively eliminated environmental music as a subject for composer's attention, or for that of serious listeners.
		His use of the term "ambient music" was to create a distinction between his music and the canned background music that was available at the time.

	Brian Eno - Music For Films - Review
		Although it's his Music For Airports album, his work with Roxy Music, and his collaborations with David Byrne and other artists are the ones that have been talked about the most, this is an album that is just as good in my opinion (which is a collaboration with many different people as well).
		If you enjoy ambient music and want an idea of some of the roots of the genre, this is really one of those essential releases.
		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.

		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.
		It's music for the unconscious mind, and it remains one of the best, most timeless examples of the genre.
		This is the "ambient" music style, something to play while you need to concentrate, perhaps, or to relax or go to sleep by.
