This recording's 'arrangement' by Jerry Pergolesi transforms the band itself into the looping apparatus, using seven compatible melodies derived from Eno's original two.
Album & Artwork
The cover painting and interior panels for this album were created by Giuseppe Garisto.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Brian Eno's Discreet Music is an experimental work focused on the process of creation rather than the final sound, much like John Cage's approach to music.
Recording & Production
This recording of Discreet Music was captured in a single, live take, and is the last of three hour-long takes made over as many years.
Compositional Technique
The original Discreet Music by Brian Eno is described as a 'score' that involves a looping apparatus, creating music with minimal intervention once the system is set.
Cultural Impact
Brian Eno's Discreet Music served as a 'tributary' to the ambient music movement that he later pioneered.
