Artist and Musician - Brian Eno
What is Brian Eno? A musician, a composer, or an artist impossible to label?
Stephen Sackur talks to Brian Eno, the hugely influential contemporary music maker once styled the 鈥榖rainiest guy in pop鈥� 鈥� except the word 鈥榩op鈥� does not really fit. Briefly a member of Roxy Music in the early '70s, he then went his own way, creating ambient music, developing audio-visual installations and collaborating with a host of big names including Bowie, U2 and Coldplay. His output has been prolific and varied, but what is he? A musician, a composer, or an artist impossible to label?
