How the music makes me feel - Lamar Travis

Brian Eno’s Ambient 1 has a very somber yet uplifting tone throughout the entire album. My initial thoughts on the the first song was that it was meant for a depressing scene in a movie. The sounds of the piano are very soft and is the reason as to why the overall mood is depressing.

The song that plays at 17:38 is very ominous with the multiple voices say “Ah” in synchronous. The track makes me feel as if I had just discovered something like I was Indiana Jones or someone like that.

The further I listened to the album the more I noticed that Brian Eno’s music continues with that same somber/ominous tone. Eno seems to be a big fan of that soft piano and the choir of people singing that ominous music.

Not until around 41 minutes in, the tone changes to what I believe is a more inspirational tone. I personally do not know the name of it, it may be a trumpet. But this “trumpet” makes it seem more inspirational to me since it reminds me of when someone in the service dies, they play the trumpets during the funeral. The reason why I would say it is more inspirational is when someone dies in the line of duty I take it as them sacrificing their life to protect others.
