Brian Eno has been a name used frequently in the world of entertainment. Brian Eno has influenced many people, but the people who influenced him the most were The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and Jimi Hendrix (to name a few). Bands and people who had done something innovative in music influenced him. Brian Eno started out as an artist and was influenced by Terry Riley, who was associated with the minimalist movement of classical music, and is credited with being one of the pioneers of said movement. Brian Eno would take his influences with him to the studio and created sounds in ways people had not thought of creating them before.
Brian Eno is talented enough to make each of his songs different and unique, but despite this, one can tell just from listening that he is behind the song in some aspect. For example, David Bowie’s “Heroes” and David Bowie’s “Low” are different from each other with just the tonality and meaning behind each album. Bowie plays a different character in each album, but Eno kept the same instrumentation for both albums. Low is more upbeat than Heroes, consequently, Heroes is a much more serious sounding album.
Brian Eno is a pioneer in innovation, and his way of approaching everything, sets him apart from other recordings. A great representation of this is U2’s Achtung Baby! Eno rightfully wins awards for Achtung Baby! by experimenting in the studio. Eno helped U2 mark their place by making their sound different from the Joshua Tree, which was much sweeter sounding than that of Achtung Baby! Eno had a way with mixing sounds to get their irony point across. U2 is a political based band and Eno knew what to do in order to make sure they got their very strong viewpoints across.
I had never heard of Brian Eno before Music History I. After listening to him, I understand how important he is to the entertainment industry. Brain Eno is incredibly humble when it comes to his work and he has helped me realize making mistakes can sometimes lead to really wonderful things, as long as you’re happy.

I really liked how you included Enos influences in detail it really shows where Eno came from in accosiation with his roots of music. I also like how you picked 2 albums that are completely different in feel and grove but explained the similarities of instrumentation, however i don’t think the instrumentation was the same just similar. I enjoyed reading about the innovation Eno did in the studio in the song Achtung Baby I wish you told the reader what the techniques were. Regardless your was very interesting and informative I enjoyed reading it I especially like your closing statement I can one hundred percent relate. Good writing keep up the good work!
