A profile of rock producer, ambient musician and music conceptualist Brian Eno, for his 60th birthday
May 15: Brian Eno's 60th birthday
Engaging, Intriguing, Thoughtful
English
Look in any corner of contemporary music, and Brian Eno is there.
Brian Eno celebrates his 60th birthday on May 15, 2008. Rarely has an artist made such a monumental impact on modern music with such subtlety. He's one of the most profound minds of modern music, who applies avant-garde principles to pop music by U2 and Paul Simon, and pop principles to the avant-garde.
In this wide-ranging review, John Diliberto considers the full impact of Eno's career, from rock producer to creator of ambient music to art conceptualist.
