Ambient music is intended to induce calm and a space to think. It must be as ignorable as it is interesting, says Brian Eno. Eric Satty created an early form of ambient or background music in the 1880s. The most famous piece was by Jimnopdi - you'll know it.
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.
