Brian Eno
Brian Eno: His Music And The Vertical Color Of Sound | Eric Enno Tamm
1 post | 1 read
Musician, composer, producer: Brian Eno is unique in contemporary music. Best known in recent years for producing U2's sensational albums, Eno began his career as a synthesizer player for Roxy Music. He has since released many solo albums, both rock and ambient, written music for film and television soundtracks, and collaborated with David Bowie, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, and classical and experimental composers. His pioneering ambient sound has been enormously influential, and without him today's rock would have a decidedly different sound. Drawing on Eno's own words to examine his influences and ideas, this book—featuring a new afterword and an updated discography and bibliography—will long remain provocative and definitive.

Bookwomble Knowledge engenders more and more questions, perhaps? Or "one in, one out", but I don't think memory necessarily works that way, unless we're reaching cognitive overload. 4y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I wonder if he means, as we learn new things, old preconceived notions we thought were true, like the earth is flat, are removed. So that way we learned something new, but also unlearned (is that a word?) something that turned out to be false. New facts replace old so we learn and discard ideas at the same time. 4y
Bookwomble Yes, I like that. 🙂 I think it's good to hold the fluidity of a concept and its many possibilities, rather than seeking to fix it in a single form. 4y
RamsFan1963 @Bookwomble I guess you can't truly learn unless you're open to the idea that everything you currently hold true might be wrong. That's why I find non-fiction history and science books so fascinating, that constant give and take between when I thought I knew to be true, and new facts/ ideas that change my viewpoint. 4y
