Now you're talking. I'd like to see 'inventor of everything' Brain Eno play a cement mixer on stage.
I'm all for that attitude. If you don't think your work is better than most, you're settling. The key word is "most".
The piece is very nice, and though I haven't waded all the way through it yet, I'd say it's a pretty grand leap to suggest it's better than Eno. More satisfying? It'd better be, for you!
Nice! Sounds like Silver Morning from Apollo.
@cian I have the 54-minute version on Spotify and plan to get the CD (or purchase the .wav) to hear the nuances in uncompressed format, so of course I'm getting the album silly.
And, if you have the disposable cash to get the app, all the more power to you then mate. However, if I really put my mind and effort to it, I could technically set up something in Noatikl and/or Mixtikl and/or Fugue Machine that's a little better than Eno in the span of a few months.
If Eno sold the app for $19.99, I'd buy it. More expensive than the CD, but worth it for a deluxe endless version. $39.99 is a ridiculous price point and very off-putting. But by all means get the app and enjoy it. Let it inspire you. Up to each individual to make that choice really.
1000% agreed! And a thread that also criticises Brian Eno as well as defends him in addition to that. This is the kind of grown-up discussion missing from other music forums.
good thing i don't come here for nuanced and informed critique of music. the idea that the prior existence of musique concrete invalidates Enos's ambient work is absolutely absurd, and if it isn't, then it's equally applicable to the work of aphex/namlook. And frankly, if music for airports is the only Eno ambient you've listened to then you are out of your depth and unqualified to have an opinion.
everyone has heard harmonia, cluster, ash ra, etc etc etc. they are great. please stop.
Eno obviously heard of those guys :
if you want a record store clerk coolness and obscurity fight, have you heard robert ashley, pauline oliveros deep listening band, charlemagne palestine? am i cool enough now? does my opinion matter? no one cares.
Eno is in the pantheon of ambient music for obvious reasons, you don't have to like his work, but to pretend that he's bullshit because you don't like that he's charging 40$ for an app is ridiculous.
100% agreed.
The false equivalence of Eno's ambient work to Musique Concrète is the first sign that someone needs to bone up on both.

Reading comprehension is a gift that not everyone got.
you don't get that eno and namlook are the other side of the coin.
Enos stuff is to supposed to be just a carpet, it's a concept and not supposed to move you on an emotional level, namlook is the exact opposite of that.
If you don't get that I just don't know what to say.
If enough people buy it then Eno priced it right. It seems high to me, but then I doubt I'd buy it at $5.
But having written some generative music/visuals (and knowing people write quite a bit), it's harder to create stuff that works than you're suggesting.
To be honest, don't think Eno would be all that bothered if it sold or not, he's just showing the way things may be, the person behind the curtain, new heroes to worship, the coders.
Don't agree with your pov here that an singer is merely a vehicle of a producer. It's questionable if "I feel love" would have had the same impact with another vocalist than Donna Summer. If you start talking this way you have to credit producers instead of artists ie Quincy Jones instead of Michael Jackson when talking about the album Thriller. And you should bring forward producers as Phil Spector, Chin & Chapman, Frank Fabian, Stock, Aitken and Waterman or Pharrell Williams as the real ground breakers.
Yes the Eno Biography is a great read. He seems somewhat surprised about the whole 'cult of ambient' built up around him.
Back on topic, anyone bought the app ?
Moroder is also responsible for this, so....
Modern ambient music tends to just be beatless music. Which isn't really what Eno had in mind. And that's ignoring Chillout music, which is a distinct genre.
Yes, it has spawned many off shoots / sub-genres indeed (I would say chill-out being very far removed from his works with Harold Budd, for example
As to what Eno had in mind, I couldn't say. However, there is a recurring theme in some of his theorisings concerning Generative music being how we (may) listen to music in the future.
my reading comprehension is fine, you're just not as interesting as you think you are.
I am familiar with, and enjoy pete namlook's work. He's great, but i'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion that he's doing some sort of objectively better work than Eno, and that you are holding it up as some sort of achievement while asking "where is the ground breaking Eno record?" It's ridiculous.
Cough, this is more or less exactly what moroder said about I feel love and Donna.
I guess he knows how he works.
Prior to Martin Rushent…
I don't care if you think I'm interesting.
But I seam to be interesting enough to you That you need to comment on my opinions. Rofl
Im out of here.
Yes. "Seams" that way.
Hence why I said "in the span of a few months", which could even suggest 18 months. The amount of thought it takes to make Ambient work is a LOT more than a fun pop tune like "I Really Like You". Creating Ambient is a lot more rewarding too when it's finished and effective and well-balanced.
@jwmmakerofmusic
The app isn't ambient music, it's a generative process that creates new/evolving ambient music.
Creating successful generative processes is closer to coding (with all the implications of testing and design that implies). If you want a better analogy - you're kind of suggesting that nobody needs to buy (pick a particular app) because anyone can download xCode.
The amount of thought it takes to make Ambient work is a LOT more than a fun pop tune like "I Really Like You".
I dunno, I've created a lot of ambient music that sounded okay with some music theory, some delays and a bit of post-processing. And god knows plenty of ambient music is just some dude with a guitar, a looper and a pedal rack.
Now creating GOOD music takes longer. But you might be surprised by how much work went into some of the Tin Pan Alley classics.
I think you might be devaluing the power of a great pop hook by saying that. It's one thing to wade through ethereal tones and layer them together (no small feat), and it's another thing to put together a vicious hook that sticks in people's brains for 50+ years. That's not easy. For every "Starman", there's 10,000 "Moss Garden"s.
?
I would love to have been the guy who crafted and honed "Discreet Music." But to even have been in the room when the Kinks wrote "You Really Got Me"?
Exactly. I mean, in another 100 years, we'll all be humming "Happy Birthday", but who'll remember "Dreambeings"?
I'm gonna have to disagree with the idea of 'I really like you' taking less thought than an ambient composition. I'm a huge Carly Rae Jepsen fan and have read about how extensively she used the resources available to her (namely crack producers and songwriters, including one of the Cardigans for this specific track) in the making of her Emotion album, in order to get things just as she imagined them over the course of 3 years and 100+ demoed songs.
Now, maybe super songwriting teams and 6 co-collaborators aren't 'cool' per se, but all in all, the 'CRJ group' turned out the best modern mainstream pop album in so many years it still blows my mind. And despite all of the outsourcing, it is a cohesive album and you can still hear Carly Rae Jepsen's own musical talent (which is considerable for pop music) at the forefront.
Man, are you a conundrum.
And I agree 100 percent.
Thx, didn't know this. Still will argue that it was combination of Summer and the producers that made the song what it became. Although I have no doubt of major role producers. Also offically listened as writers of the song are: Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte
Nice fact what Eno said about the song:
According to David Bowie, then in the middle of recording of his Berlin Trilogy with Brian Eno, its impact on the genre's direction was recognized early on:
One day in Berlin ... Eno came running in and said, "I have heard the sound of the future." ... he puts on "I Feel Love," by Donna Summer ... He said, "This is it, look no further."
I hated that song, thankfully Eno never wrote anything like it lol!
