The new ambient item.
| 
May 22 08:30 UTC 2002 |
This is the place to once again discuss all things ambient: space
music, Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, New Age, indeterminism, minimalism,
and perhaps some connections to electronica.

I suppose Wendy Carlos should be mentioned in a new electronic music
item, but I'm wondering if she'll be involved in the soundtrack for
Tron 2.0 (a.k.a. Tron-- Killer App: see http://www.tronkillerapp.com
for a promo), as she was for Tron.

I've been thinking for a while that I should listen to more of Eno's ambient
music. I know the poppier albums he's put out, and some of his work as a
producer, but I've never gotten into the ambient stuff, and there seems to
be an enormous amount of it out there. What's a good starting point? DOes
it matter?

Philip Glass, ambient? Yeeks. Would you call Steve Reich ambient?
Wait, you're discussing Phillip Glass, two L's. Must be somebody else.

I could be wrong. What would you call "Tubular Bells"?

Wasn't "tubular bells" Gary Oldman? (pardon my ignorance)

Tubular Bells was not by Philip Glass. Nor Phillip Glass, Steve Reich,
nor even Gary Oldman.
I did not say that ambient music does not exist. Merely that Philip
Glass is not it.

I'm sure you're right. This was yet another fried-out, overzealous
attempt to expand the music cf beyond folk music and P2P (Napster)
discussion.
Now-- would you care to discuss some ambient artists, then?
For ambient artists on NPR radio, I think "Hearts of Space"
and "Echoes" might be a reference.. anyone care to correct or disagree
with me? Better yet, anything to add to that?
