Mesh Match For "Brian Eno" Paperback by Eric Tamm:Product Description
First lineBrian Eno (b.1948) is a contemporary British musician and artist whose public career began in 1972 with his synthesizer playing for the group Roxy Music. Through securing a niche in the music industry and building up an audience in progressive rock music, Eno has been able to diversify his creative efforts considerably. He is a prime example of a new type of composer who draws freely on the resources of many types of music and ideas about music. Publisher's noteMusician, composer, producer: Brian Eno is unique in contemporary music. Best known in recent years for producing U2's sensational albums, Eno began his career as a synthesizer player for Roxy Music. He has since released many solo albums, both rock and ambient, written music for film and television sound tracks, and collaborated with David Bowie, David Bryne, Robert Fripp, and classical and experimental composers. His pioneering ambient sound has been enormously influential, and without him todays' rock would have a decidedly different sound. AnnotationBrian Eno began his professional career in the early 1970s as a self-professed non-musician with the groundbreaking British art-rock band Roxy Music. Unable to play an instrument, his function with the band was to manipulate the other musicians' sounds. His oblique approach to music led to his adoption of the recording studio as an instrument, and to a multiplicity of collaborations with artists from a wide variety of musical backgrounds. Eric Tamm's exhaustive and absorbing study of Eno's artistic methods and the theories that drive them, beginning with an informative overview of the artist's background and career, explores his compositional processes, his songwriting, and his collaborations, notably those with David Byrne and David Bowie. Tamm's analyses, particularly of Eno's differing styles of songs, which Tamm divides into assaultive, pop, strange, and hymn-like, are often as innovative as his subject's music; BRIAN ENO: HIS MUSIC AND THE VERTICAL COLOR OF SOUND is invaluable as a primer of both the artist/producer's fascinating work and of some of the more arcane elements of his complex musical theory.
