classical music has become a kind of a cliche because you've heard it so many times. Eric Sarti wanted to create some music that was the musical equivalent of tidying away a bookcase, he said. The music is constantly resolving and going back. It's like it's sort of folding itself back up and putting itself back on the shelf musically. There's one album I've got by Chick Corea called Return to Forever. And we could explore other things like 60s experimental music and just like the first synthesizer music.
A conversation with my brother about a specific musical genre, "ambient". We discuss Brian Eno's inspiration and approach to his first ambient albums, talk about the genre's origins in French 19th century classical music, jazz and the avant-garde and describe ambient trance music from the 80s and 90s including artists like Aphex Twin, The KLF, The Orb and The Irresistible Force.
