[395] [ambient music begins so that it can then continue]
Uneventful day. Back to work in the morning, just as mom heads off to Edmonton with Dominic again for her radiation consult. All tuckered out from treadmill time. That is all.
Wikipedia Sez: Ambient 1: Music for Airports is the sixth studio album by Brian Eno, released in March 1978 by Polydor Records. It is the first of Eno's albums released under the label of ambient music, a genre of music intended to "induce calm and a space to think" while remaining "as ignorable as it is interesting". While not Eno's earliest entry in the style, it is credited with coining the term.
Genre: Pop/Rock, Avant-Garde, Electronic, Classical
Styles: Chamber Music, Ambient, Avant-Garde Music, Experimental, Experimental Electronic
Release Date: Looks like March 1978 is as precise as it gets.
Prior Familiarity: Okay! Like, I'd definitely never just sat and listened to it all the way through, but I was very familiar with it as a concept. I went through my Oblique Strategies phase.
What I Did While Listening: Put all my laundry away after two days of just letting it sit in the damn hamper.
Verdict: Imagine just waking up one day and being like 'I'm going to invent a whole-ass genre' and nobody else ever being quite as good at it as you were. Goat shit.
Favourite Song: It doesn't really... have those. But I did particularly like the use of vibraphone in 1/1.
