Paul Morley “On gospel, Abba and the death of the record: an audience with Brian Eno” http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jan/17/brian-eno-interview-paul-morley
イーノの発言で、前回オミットした部分。
音楽ジャンルとそのジャンルの命名について。また、イーノ自身によるambientというジャンルの創設を巡って;
当時、日本では環境音楽といわれていたような。実は、イーノのアンビエントで、ちゃんとレコードを買ったのは、最初のMusic for Airportsだけ。後に、イーノの盟友であるHarold BuddのThe Pavilion of Dreamsも買ったのだけれど。
"A way to make new music is to imagine looking back at the past from a future and imagine music that could have existed but didn't. Like East African free jazz, which as far as I know does not exist. To some extent, this was how ambient music emerged. My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to, not because I wanted a job as a musician. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist. It's like having a ready-made formula if you are able to read it. One of the innovations of ambient music was leaving out the idea that there should be melody or words or a beat… so in a way that was music designed by leaving things out – that can be a form of innovation, knowing what to leave out. All the signs were in the air all around with ambient music in the mid 1970s, and other people were doing a similar thing. I just gave it a name. Which is exactly what it needed. A name. A name. Giving something a name can be just the same as inventing it. By naming something you create a difference. You say that this is now real. Names are very important."
