This collection of essays has been assembled and developed from
papers given at the Ambient@40 International Conference held in
February 2018 at the University of Huddersfield. The original
premise of the conference was not merely to celebrate Enos work and
the landmark release of Music for Airports in 1978, but to consider
the development of the genre, how it has permeated our wider
musical culture, and what the role of such music is today given the
societal changes that have occurred since the release of that
album. In the context of the conference, ambient was considered
from the perspectives of aesthetic, influence, appropriation,
process, strategy and activity. A detailed consideration of each of
these topics could fill many volumes. With that in mind, this book
does not seek to provide an in-depth analysis of each of these
topics or a comprehensive history of the last 40 years of ambient
music. Rather it provides a series of provocations, observations
and reflections that each open up seams for further discussion. As
such, this book should be read as a starting point for future
research, one that seeks to critically interrogate the very meaning
of ambient, how it creates its effect, and how the genre can remain
vital and relevant in twenty-first century music-making.
