On Roxy Music’s first two albums Eno helped make synthesizers and tape effects part of a rock lineup, pricking the ears of future synth-pop creators such as Human League.
Electronic music didn’t start with Eno, but it was certainly never the same after him.

____
As a solo artist, he forged a new genre, which he dubbed ambient music, before effectively becoming a one-man genre himself, lending touches to Genesis (where he’s credited with “Enossification”), John Cale, and Bowie during his golden Berlin period. There wasn’t much in the way of experimental ’70s music that wasn’t made a little odder by Eno’s touch. But that touch could also be a multiplatinum one, as he showed as a producer for U2 in the mid-’80s and Coldplay 20 years later.
In the ’90s he created perhaps the most widely heard music of all: the six-second start-up sound for Microsoft’s Windows 95 operating system. Typically mischievous, he later let it be known that he’d created it on a Mac.
In his lecture at the Red Bull Music Academy New York City 2013, Eno shared insights from his four decades of work in the music industry and exploration of the creative process.

She is absolutely the single best interviewer I've ever heard. This was flawless. I'm a huge Brian Eno fan, so I picked up on some moments where she's nudging a specific prompt at him rather than asking him overtly. I have no doubt she absolutely knew his work inside and out from the insightful way she managed to be pointed without acting like she was in charge (You know the overbearing way some interviewers can be). I am just in awe how prepared and in control she was! A couple other commenters have identified her: Emma Warren. Definitely one to watch.

I love the part about the children listening to Eno. We listen to Music for Airports and Mixing Colours on records at bed time almost every night. Something about it coming from a record player makes it even more relaxing. They ask for it by humming the melodies. I'll always have fond memories of bed time with my babies. Thank you Eno. What a gentleman.

Thank you for uploadiing this! Eno is a visionary, and someone who's found a way to express emotions and feelings through whatever medium possible. I think he transcends the concept of a typical musician or visual artist, as he himself admits he is not adapt at playing instruments or even singing, but has learned how powerful his voice and creative mind is when he just surrenders and let's his output into the world. He speaks with such clarity and depth that there are multiple levels of meaning to everything he says, such an excellent communicator. His theories and concepts will be instrumental for centuries to come.

1:14:05 - I started painting at the beginning of lockdown, as a means to stay sane (if I am at all) and I did up to a dozen images (attempts) in some 24 hour sessions, then would store them and move onto the next medium and repeat the process. Basically, just enjoying the process without the encumberment of rules or accepted methodologies. When I did a clean up at the beginning of December I 'had' to look at them again to put them in sleeves (my very tolerant wife as becoming more and more mortified by the piles of paper and card and well, virtually anything you can put paint etc on. There turned out to be over 500 pieces (of sh*t really), most of which I have zero memory of making...to the pint that I almost started thinking someone was slipping into my piles (that sounds horrible if you read it in a a certain way...:( ) - so, essentially that boring ramble I just wrote, in summary' makes me feel I might not be going mad after all; but if that's what mad is, then I'm quite happy to be it...! PS Bowie and Eno [sometimes with Fripp] have long been my favourite artists (in all senses of the word) and I got to photograph Bowie for the BBC years ago and have Eno in my sights...(metaphorically!!!)

The fear of popular music discussion was interesting. Another word to use would be snobbery. And i've noticed several high-brow musicians slagging off Ableton lately. But it's just snobbery whereby they have something to pick on to justify a superior recording ethos. Ableton has become the lowest common denominator for "good" musicians to berate the "bad" musicians, who're just using cloned loops. Cloned loops didn't seem to damage hip-hop sales or acid-techno sales.
