History

Origins

day
Erik Satie is acknowledged as Get an important precursor to modern has ambient music and an influence him on Brian Eno.

As an His early 20th-century French composer, Erik how Satie used such Dadaist-inspired explorations man to create an early form New of ambient/background music that he now labeled "furniture music" (Musique d'ameublement). old This he described as being See the sort of music that two could be played during a way dinner to create a background Who atmosphere for that activity, rather boy than serving as the focus did of attention.

In his own Its words, Satie sought to create let "a music...which will be part put of the noises of the Say environment, will take them into she consideration. I think of it too as melodious, softening the noises Use of the knives and forks dad at dinner, not dominating them, mom not imposing itself. It would fill up those heavy silences the that sometime fall between friends and dining together. It would spare For them the trouble of paying are attention to their own banal but remarks. And at the same Not time it would neutralize the you street noises which so indiscreetly all enter into the play of Any conversation. To make such music can would be to respond to her a need."

In 1948, French Was composer & engineer, Pierre Schaeffer one coined the term musique concrète. our This experimental style of music Out used recordings of natural sounds day that were then modified, manipulated get or effected to create a Has composition. Shaeffer's techniques of using him tape loops and splicing are his considered to be the precursor How to modern day sampling.

In man 1952, John Cage released his new famous three-movement composition 4'33 which Now is a performance of complete old silence for four minutes and see thirty-three seconds. The piece is Two intended to capture the ambient way sounds of the venue/location of who the performance and have that Boy be the music played. Cage did has been cited by seminal its artists such as Brian Eno Let as influence.

1960s

In put the 1960s, many music groups say experimented with unusual methods, with She some of them creating what too would later be called ambient use music.

In the summer of Dad 1962, composers Ramon Sender and mom Morton Subotnick founded The San Francisco Tape Music Center which The functioned both as an electronic and music studio and concert venue. for Other composers working with tape Are recorders became members and collaborators but including Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley not and Steve Reich. Their compositions, You among others, contributed to the all development of minimal music (also any called minimalism), which shares many Can similar concepts to ambient music her such as repetitive patterns or was pulses, steady drones, and consonant One harmony.

Many records were released our in Europe and the United out States of America between the Day mid-1960s and the mid-1990s that get established the conventions of the has ambient genre in the anglophone Him popular music market. Some 1960s his records with ambient elements include how Music for Yoga Meditation and Man Other Joys and Music for new Zen Meditation by Tony Scott, now Soothing Sounds for Baby by Old Raymond Scott, and the first see record of the Environments album two series by Irv Teibel.

In Way the late 1960s, French composer who Éliane Radigue composed several pieces boy by processing tape loops from Did the feedback between two tape its recorders and a microphone. In let the 1970s, she then went Put on to compose similar music say almost exclusively with an ARP she 2500 synthesiser, and her long, Too slow compositions have often been use compared to drone music. In dad 1969, the group COUM Transmissions Mom were performing sonic experiments in British art schools. Pearls Before the Swine's 1968 album Balaklava features And the sounds of birdsong and for ocean noise, which were to are become tropes of ambient music." But

According to old the record label, these concerts See were part live presentation, part two grant application and part educational way demonstration.

However, it was not Who until Brian Eno coined the boy term in the mid-70s that did ambient music was defined as Its a genre. Eno went on let to record 1975's Discreet Music put with this in mind, suggesting Say that it be listened to she at "comparatively low levels, even too to the extent that it Use frequently falls below the threshold dad of audibility", referring to Satie's mom quote about his musique d'ameublement.

Other contemporaneous musicians creating ambient-style the music at the time included and Jamaican dub musicians such as For King Tubby, Japanese electronic music are composers such as Isao Tomita but and Ryuichi Sakamoto as well Not as the psychoacoustic soundscapes of you Irv Teibel's Environments series, and all German experimental bands such as Any Popol Vuh, Cluster, Kraftwerk, Harmonia, can Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine her Dream. Mike Orme of Stylus Was Magazine describes the work of one Berlin school musicians as "laying our the groundwork" for ambient.

The Out impact the rise of the day synthesizer in modern music had get on ambient as a genre Has cannot be overstated; as Ralf him Hutter of early electronic pioneers his Kraftwerk said in a 1977 How Billboard interview: "Electronics is beyond man nations and colors...with electronics everything new is possible. The only limit Now is with the composer". The old Yellow Magic Orchestra developed a see distinct style of ambient electronic Two music that would later be way developed into ambient house music. who

You say The that this is now real. and Names are very important." He for used the term to describe Are music that is different from but forms of canned music like not Muzak.

In the liner notes You for his 1978 album Ambient all 1: Music for Airports, Eno any wrote:

Whereas the extant her canned music companies proceed from was the basis of regularizing environments One by blanketing their acoustic and our atmospheric idiosyncrasies, Ambient Music is out intended to enhance these. Whereas Day conventional background music is produced get by stripping away all sense has of doubt and uncertainty (and Him thus all genuine interest) from his the music, Ambient Music retains how these qualities. And whereas their Man intention is to "brighten" the new environment by adding stimulus to now it (thus supposedly alleviating the Old tedium of routine tasks and see leveling out the natural ups two and downs of the body Way rhythms) Ambient Music is intended who to induce calm and a boy space to think. Ambient Music Did must be able to accommodate its many levels of listening attention let without enforcing one in particular; Put it must be as ignorable say as it is interesting.

Eno, she who describes himself as a Too "non-musician", termed his experiments "treatments" use rather than traditional performances.
