Muzak;t|_ri_ed ambient
You're in an
in a greasy orange vinyl, booth, at a
wood grain formica table, when you re*
jji-e that you' re shearing music.
It's a familiar tone bom the sixties,
originally recorded by Andy Williams
{or somebody like that). But the music
that you are bearing haa no vocals.
You listen to the vapid cercl—stration for
a minute, then your sttention wanders.
Whet you beard-or almost beard-
was muzak, the dwItiHat* background
music pioneered by Muxak Incorporated
in the fifties. It's music with a lobo-
tomy, music with all anti-social tenden¬
cies removed, raoullees, ebulbent music
designed to homogenize the acoustic
environment, the perfect sound track
for the era of the man-machine.
Because muxak lack* essential qual¬
ities like uncertaintyf mystery,, and
upward reach, virtually all music lovers
dismiss it as a product having nothing
to do with art.
Music for Airports is Brian Eno's
attempt to create music designed spec-.
ifically as baclt^round that does not com¬
promise its essential mnstral cjuaUtiera.
by Michael Fitzgerald
Wishing to let background music oat of
the can, Eno has corned the term •am¬
bient music" to diatunguiah his efforts.
On Music for Airports the only instru-
ments used are piano and ma—<—ran,
the latter being a syi__aj_er that
duplicates the sound of storings or of the
__un voice.
The musical themes are simple. They
are simuhaneoualy repeated and varied,
ao the listener perceives a kind of reg¬
ularity, bat not a pattern. The gradual
development of the theme through
subtle variations produces a slow blos¬
soming that can transfix or merely relax
the listener.
Putting Music for Airports next to
music like Keith Janet's Koln Oonetrts,
one is surprised to find that the ambient
music does not seem —*——aJcal or
unsatisfying by comparison, but only
humble and uncomplicated.
Ambient music is a successfully real¬
ized concept. It's good randleHght
music, snd it's music that you can allow
to penetrate your subconcious without
feeing touched by the vinyl hud of
