Blog 11: Brian Eno and Ambient Music

In class we discussed about Brian Eno and his thoughts on Ambient music. Ambient music is defined as music designed for particular times and situations with a view to building up a small but versatile catalogue of environmental music suited to a wide variety of moods and atmospheres. Brian Eno is  best known for his albums, Music for Airports, Music for Films, and Discrete Music. Though this type of music would be ideal for me to sit down and listen to, I believe it's great when roaming around in the mall or airport or while even driving. The great thing about this music is that it can be ignored but also payed attention to at any given time. Also it is music that will not become annoying after long periods of play. Therefore it can be said that ambient music provides an atmosphere, or a surrounding influence that instills ambience.
