Q: I have searched and searched and searched endlessly for music like 'On Land.' The closest thing I ever found was Substrata by Biosphere, if not Apollo by Brian Eno. I would love suggestions.

Q: How do we know the music today
(5 years, 4 months, 5 days, and 7 hours ago.)
A: I think you meant 1995 not 1985 - were you perhaps thinking of the Windows 95 start-up sound, composed by Brian Eno, which is about 3-and-a-half seconds in length? (5 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, and 14 hours ago.)

Q: Which art rock artist do you prefer?
In case you didn't know (and, if you're answering this question, I'd expect you to know already), Eno was Roxy Music's keyboardist until 1973, when he left due to artistic differences with Bryan Ferry. Although his music was much more experimental than Ferry's, it's still all in the realm of 'art rock', so...right.
I prefer Eno, if you didn't know already. Roxy Music really went downhill after he left, so I kind of wonder just how much he had to do with the band's sound. Maybe Ferry thought Brian was holding them back. Ah, well, I don't know. I wasn't there.
BQ: Favorite Roxy Music album?
BQ2: Favorite Brian Eno album?
BQ3: Favorite Roxy Music song?
BQ4: Favorite Brian Eno song?
BQ5: Please, do me a favor. Don't ever watch Child's Play 3. It's easily the worst movie...ever made. If you thought Epic Movie was bad, you haven't seen anything yet....
(2 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 8 hours ago.)
A: Hmmm... I think all in all I prefer Brian Eno, besides pioneering modern Ambient music, he's done so many different styles, but always remained interesting and pleasant to listen to. Though I do love Roxy Music, it's mainly due to Eno's contributions.
BQ: For Your Pleasure
BQ2: Another Green World
BQ3: In Every Dream Home a Heartache
BQ4: I'll Come Running or St. Elmo's Fire (thanks to Fripp)
BQ5: I'll take your word for it. (2 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 14 hours ago.)

3. what are you favorites?
thanks

A: Another Green World, Before and After Science,Here Come the Warm Jets are his four most popular, best reviewed records.
There are two kinds of records by him:ambient, like "Music for Airports, and records like the ones I listed above that have more traditional, rock/pop strutures, and have vocals.He was also in thge band Roxy Music and co-produced some of U2s best records.
I would start with Here Come The Warm Jets an d Another Green World.If you like ambient music, try "Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror (5 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 14 hours ago.)

Q: hi everyone, i visited the nokia 8800 sirocco website on nokia, i need the exact same music when it starts playing, what is the name of that song...
http://www.nokia-asia.com/find-products/products/nokia-8800-sirocco/experience
i have posted the exact link, click on it and wait for it to load up
(2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, and 4 hours ago.)
A: Have you got the exact link for the website? Because I went on and there doesn't seem to be any music playing at all, so it's obviously somewhere else.
If it's a Brian Eno tune, it's most likely Music For Airports Part 1. That's by far his most famous song. If it's not, then post the link for the website you mean and I should be able to ID it anyway. (2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, and 13 hours ago.)

Q: I love songs like Brian Eno's "Music for Airports", and Beethoven's "Moonlit Sonata" and "Fur Elise." These songs I can do my work to. I would really appreciate having some more!
(2 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, and 19 hours ago.)
A: Beethoven.
I have two of his CD's and they are amazing.
Yiruma is really great too.
He's a new pianist, but his music is beautiful. (2 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, and 14 hours ago.)

Q:
for example there seems to be less of a focus on harmonic progression and melody and instead on atmospheric effects, but how are they created? generally speaking
(4 years, 3 weeks, 6 days, and 12 hours ago.)
A: Quite singular, Brian Eno should be banned from the Sacred Temple of the Classical Forum (forum ?), while Scott Joplin is welcome to It. Out of my comprehension.
‘Non-musician musician’ Brian was always attracted by technology (started to work on audio and video-cassettes in early 80s. His classical references (John Cage and Terry Riley) were already paving the way to ‘pure sound’ and its relationship to the human mind.
True, he cooperated with a host of pop music artists (Peter Gabriel, Roxy Music, the italian Teresa De Sio): well, Boulez cooperated with Frank Zappa. True, he wrote music films for directors like the italian Nanni Moretti, for X-Files, for videogames and the opening of Windows-something: well, Bernstein worte sound tracks as well. True, he conceived ambient music utilized in airports: well, Haendel wrote music for a boat trip and fireworks.
Now, ambient music, severed from its practical uses, is avantgarde music appealing to subliminal levels on the basis of taoism (nature and ancestor spirits); it’s an original form where light and soft effects without a real melody and a rhythm are paired by ostinato pedals. This music is aimed either at commenting images of films, or at describing environments influencing listeners’ perception of them.
The way it is created seems simple but my impression is, it’s not quite that: first, you give up to lyrics, to a definite melody, to rhythm. Then you should have the overall music idea, in terms of effect desired (a lot of try and error, I presume), then the execution and after all the post-production optimization via electronics and special effects. No specific theory (like serialism or so) is involved, making it, to me, more difficult to deliver.

Q: I'd like to make/have a variety of different tones, but I'm a total idiot in terms of what equipment I need. I've heard of synthesizer keyboards. Is that what I want?
(3 years, 5 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, and 6 hours ago.)
A: Lots of synthesizers can produce slow, moving sounds like Eno uses. Some of the more famous ones are:
1. Roland JD-800 or the rack version, JD-990
2. Korg WaveStation (any version)
3. Korg Karma
4. Yamaha SY-22 or the rack version, TG-33
5. Sequential Circuits Prophet VS
6. Korg MS-2000 (any version)
Most modern synthesizers have wave or motion sections as well. Korg seems to dominate in this field. Their TR61, R-3, and M-3 all do this well.
There are also software synthesizers that can run inside your computer. These are good for recording, but not as great for live playing. If you run a software synthesizer, install a regular sound card and disable (from the BIOS) your computer's built-in sound chip.
If the software synths are VST, you'll need a VST host like Sonar or Cubase. There are some free VST hosts and software synths here:
