Inspirational pieces I have been listening to for my production piece in Soundscape. Starting off with the Daddy of ambient music, Brian Eno.
Talking about his Ambient 1:Music For Airports "I thought it would be much better to have music that said 'well if you die it doesn't really matter'........you were suspended in the universe and your life or death wasn't so important."
Brian Eno
Pauline Oliveros coined the phrases "deep listening" and developed a theory later called "sonic awareness" which is the ability to consciously focus attention upon environmental and musical sounds.
Delia Derbyshire was responsible for creating the Dr Who theme tune in the 60s, amongst hundreds of other TV scores, incidental pieces and theme tunes.
John Cage is best known for his silent composition " 4'33" ". He studied Indian philosophy and Zen Buddhism and in a 1957 lecture, Experimental Music, he described music as "a purposeless play" which is "an affirmation of life – not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we're living"
