ElectroWhat? - Ambient
While some, such as the artists we looked at while discussing Rock Infusions, took the newly developed music technology as a way to improve the music they already had, others developed a whole new kind of music through the 1970s, Ambient music. Now, when you think of Ambient music, you probably think of Brian Eno. If you don’t know who Brian Eno is, don’t worry about him yet because we’ll talk about him soon. Ambient music, simply put, is background music. This could be played in airports or department stores and it would be just like wallpaper, a metaphor to be explained in the post below.
