Brian Eno's seminal album Ambient 1: Music for Airports continues
to fascinate and charm audiences, not only as a masterpiece of
ambient music, but as a powerful and transformative work of art.
Author John T. Lysaker situates this album in the context of
twentieth-century art music, where its ambitions and contributions
to avant garde music practice become even more apparent. To
appreciate the album's multifaceted character, Lysaker advocates
for "prismatic listening," an attentiveness that continually shifts
registers in the knowledge that no single approach can grasp the
work as a whole. Exploring each of the album's four tracks and
their unique sonic arrangements, Brian Eno's Ambient 1: Music for
Airports argues that the album must be approached from at least
three angles: as an ambient contribution to lived environments that
draws upon cybernetics and the experiments of Erik Satie, as an
exploration of what John Cage has termed the "activity of sounds,"
and as a work of conceptual art that asks us to think freshly about
artistic creativity, listening, and the broad ecology of
interactions that not only make art possible, but the full range of
human meaning. If one listens in this way, Music for Airports
becomes a sonic image that blurs the nature-culture distinction and
rescues the most interesting concerns of avant-garde music from the
social isolation of concert halls and performance spaces.
