Dumb question. Does Brian Eno how to code? Does Kanye? Do any pop artists know how to code, or do they outsource ideas to people who do?

Rivers Cuomo, Weezer frontman, is doing work in Python:

Model Karlie Kloss has been spearheading an effort to expose girls to programming, and has worked in Python as well, if memory serves.

Anyone have some other ambient works similar to Eno's? Preferably something more landscapey like music for airports or Apollo. Some of my favorites include Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, Robin Guthrie (So Many Short Years Ago), Brian McBride (Overture for other halfs), and Helios.

This should cover a bunch of different Ambient styles, but all of the artists are absolutely fantastic and worth digging into. I'm definitely leaving out a fuckload more, but there are a ton of great suggestions in the other responses, too. Happy listening! :D Biosphere Ryuichi Sakamoto Loscil A Strangely Isolated Place (record label & mix series) Silent Season (record label) Kelly Moran Rafael Anton Irisarri Harold…

Some great choices. I’m gonna pile in with my own suggestions, as it’s been a topic for me this week. Specific works in brackets:

Ryuichi Sakamoto (Async LP, collabs with Alva Noto)

Kelly Moran

Burial (1st half of Tunes 2011-2019 LP)

Oneohtrix Point Never (Returnal, R plus 7 LPs)

Kara Lis-Coverdale

Harold Budd

Huerco S (For Those Of You.. LP)

Steve Hauschildt

GAS

Laurel Halo (Raw Silk Uncut Wood LP)

Malibu

Loscil

Hiroshi Yoshimura

Kareem Lofty

Ulla Straus

Sky H1

Johnny Jewel

Roedelius (Einfluss LP)

Dedekind kut

I went to see him speak at a music festival in the summer. He spoke about one of his recent projects - the 10,000 year clock: https://www.solidsmack.com/design/what-jeff-bezos-and-brian- ... The idea is that modern living has been divided into smaller and smaller sub-divisions as processors get faster, media competes for attention and attention spans get shorter. The 10,000 clock was an artistic endeavour to engineer…

It's a great idea, but after investing all the effort in developing it why build just one and locate it in.. West Texas?

Imagine one in every capital of the World.

Wow, this brings back memories! My roommate in college was really into Brian Eno, and I recall many a night when we'd go to sleep to this. HN is pretty great sometimes.

his mention of the disintegration loops is the first time i’ve thought about them in like 15 years probably but i used to listen to them a lot before bed. can’t wait to listen again and see what memories come up.

David Sylvian & Holger Czukay produced two wonderful ambient albums together in the 80s...
