Interview: Contact.
Forty years ago, no one ever suspected that Brian Eno’s ambient works would make such beautiful vehicles for acoustic ensembles. Yet, Music for Airports and Apollo-Atmospheres and Soundtracks have been magnificently covered by acoustic ensembles, Bang on a Can All-Stars and Icebreaker respectively. Now Discreet Music, arguable the first of Eno’s ambient works, has entered the acoustic canon, via the Canadian group, Contact. Contact is the latest ensemble to take composer Brian Eno’s ambient electronic works and arrange them for live players. They turn Eno’s Discreet Music, into an immersive meditation. Contact’s Jerry Pergolesi talks about making contact with Discreet Music.
