Brian Eno Biography
Brian Peter George St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk) is a British electronic musician, music theorist and record producer. As a solo artist, he is probably best known as the father of ambient music.
Eno first came to prominence as the keyboard and synthesiser player and general sonic wizard of the 1970s glam rock and art rock band Roxy Music. After leaving the group, Eno recorded four highly idiosyncratic and original rock albums, before turning to more abstract soundscapes on subsequent albums such as Another Green World (1975) and Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978). Since then, he has produced dozens of albums (many with similarly-minded collaborators such as Harold Budd and Robert Fripp) which have demonstrated his unique approach to music. He has also occasionally returned to the pop song format.
His production credits include some of the most respected albums by Devo, Talking Heads, U2 and Laurie Anderson. He recently finished producing the forthcoming Coldplay record in late 2007.
Contrary to popular belief, Brian Eno did not produce David Bowie's popular Berlin Trilogy (Low, "Heroes", and Lodger). He performed and co-wrote tracks on all three albums, but they were produced by Tony Visconti. He did, however, co-produce Bowie's 1995 1. Outside. He also produced three of the Talking Heads most acclaimed albums More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain In Light. With Talking Heads' David Byrne he recorded My life in the bush of ghosts , mixing world music and radio recordings with inventive and often very danceable music. No modern sampling techniques were available at the time.
Byrne and Eno has recently collaborated on a new release, some 27 years after their previous effort. Entitled Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the album is fusion of some "unfinished" or "abandoned" work by Eno, taken over and reworked by Byrne. More information on this release is available here: http://www.last.fm/music/Brian+Eno+%2526+David+Byrne/+wiki
Eno has pursued several artistic ventures parallel to his music career, including visual art installations, a regular column in the newspaper The Observer and, with artist Peter Schmidt, Oblique Strategies, a deck of cards recommending various artistic strategies.
