Eno

It would take weeks to fully explore the reach and influence Brian Eno has had on music, not to mention popular culture as a whole. Not only is his work awe-inspiring, but his collaborations, even recently with MGMT and Coldplay's latest Mylo Xyloto, are astounding. I loved how he discussed collaborations in the interview we watched at "conspiracies." It's really a funny way to put it, but very subtle - just like Music for Airports. Though subtle, Music for Airports has a sad hopefulness to it, which is peaceful and contrasts starkly to the Dreamer that Remains and other hypnotic pieces we've listened to in class. Still the elements are the same with the multi-layers and base loop, bringing focus to the composition.

Just for fun, here's a little tune from Roxy Music.
