“I like the idea of a kind of eternal music, but I didn't want it to be eternally repetitive, either. I wanted it to be eternally changing. So I developed two ideas in that way. 'Discreet Music' was like that, and 'Music for Airports.' What you hear on the recordings is a little part of one of those processes working itself out.”

British musician and visual artist of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Eno pioneered ambient music and experimental composition. He developed the concept of "generative music" and influenced electronic music through collaborations like Roxy Music and solo works such as *Discreet Music*. His ideas on creativity and artistry also extended into writing and visual design.
