A lot of people think @BrianEnoOfficial invented ambient music, but is this true? When Eno released "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" in 1978, he was standing on the shoulders of people like John Cage, Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros, and Raymond Scott. Critics called Ambient 1 "boring" and "self-indulgent," but nowadays it's considered "genre-breaking" and a "landmark." What do people think about it today? Do you think this album is music? Or an imitation of music? ----- Join Club Weird for exclusive access to members-only content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSnf2i8SB7Cy1cV0fICP-fA/join Make Weird Music exists to encourage musicians and music enthusiasts to expand their creative horizons through interviews, educational content, and sharing of artistic music.
