Music that as ignorable as it is interesting - this is how musician Brian Eno described the genre he named ambient music. This episode looks at the history behind ambient music, starting in the early 20th century with Erik Satie's "furniture music' to today with rapper and flute player André 3000's latest album called New Blue Sun. Whether its nature sounds, flutes, synthesisers or just plain silence, this genre is sure to either fascinate you or weird you out!
