 Tuesday 05/13AN INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN ENO: ON AN AMBIENT JOURNEY The avatar of ambient music tells us the joys of quiet Ambient music is all around us. Mark Prendergast even wrote a book called The Ambient Century. All of that comes down to Brian Eno, who coined the term "ambient music" in the 1970s, and released his sonic manifesto, Music for Airports. Eno talks about his concepts for ambient music. |
 Wednesday 05/14THE WIT & WISDOM OF BRIAN ENO We hear thoughts and musings from the thinking person's musician Brian Eno is one of the most profound minds of modern music. He's a conceptualist who applies avant-garde principles to pop music by U2 and Paul Simon, and pop principles to the avant-garde. In this wide-ranging meditation, one of the provocateurs of electronic music talks about the virtues of live performance as well as Abba and heavy metal. |
 Thursday 05/15TOUCHED BY ENO For some musicians, being touched by Eno is like being touched by God Musicians who weren't even born when Brian Eno recorded his seminal albums have been touched by his music. Artists from across genres, from pop to avant-garde, African to Asian, have found their music shaped by Eno, sometimes directly, often as a life-changing influence. On Brian Eno's 60th birthday, we hear from some of them including Harold Budd, Loop Guru's Dave Muddyman, David Toop, BT and Bluetech. |
 Friday 05/16THE WORLD OF BRIAN ENO A two-hour soundscape of Brian Eno's music In this special edition of Echoes, we hear an Echoes soundscape of Brian Eno's music, from his ambient works, pop songs, collaborations and productions. |
