Brian Eno Ambient 3 Zip

I regard this music as environmental: to be experienced from the inside. Accordingly I considered releasing a quadrophonic version of it, an idea I abandoned upon realising that very few people (myself included) own quadrophonic systems.

The English synthesist who first coined the term 'ambient' is widely revered as one of the most innovative and influential recording artists in contemporary music. Brian Eno's hand has touched many genres: rock, techno, electropop, world music and, of course, ambient. Artist: Brian Eno country of origin: UK style(s): Ambient, art rock, minimalism, experimental decades. Ambient 3: Day of Radiance, an Album by Laraaji. Released in 1980 on Editions EG (catalog no. EGED 19; Vinyl LP). Genres: Ambient. Rated #692 in the best albums of 1980. Featured peformers: Laraaji (composer, dulcimer), Brian Eno (producer, cover art). Brian Eno popularized the term 'ambient music' in the 1970s. His open-ended songs are ideal listening in a time of uncertainty. (Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams, 2010). Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers are pleased to announce Bloom: 10 Worlds – a developed, augmented and expanded new edition of 2008's game-changing original Bloom app, which explored uncharted territory in the realm of applications and was dubbed 'The First Great iPhone App' by Gizmodo.

However, I have for many years been using a three-way speaker system that is both simple to install and inexpensive, and which seems to work very well on any music with a broad stereo image. The effect is subtle but definite - it opens out the music and seems to enlarge the room acoustically.

In addition to a normal stereo hifi system all that is required is one extra loudspeaker and some speaker cable. The usage of this speaker in the three-way system is such that it will not be required to handle very low frequencies: therefore a small or 'mini' speaker will be adequate.

As shown in the diagram, the two terminals of the new speaker are connected to the two positive (red) speaker connectors on the amplifier. This speaker is located somewhere behind the listener - at the apex of a triangle whose base is formed by the original loudspeaker set-up. One of the unexpected benefits of this system is an increase in the usable listening area - almost any point in the room will yield good (although not necessarily 'accurate') stereo sound.

I arrived at this system by accident, and I don't really know why it works. What seems to happen is that the third speaker reproduces any sound that is not common to both sides of the stereo - i.e., everything that is not located centrally in the stereo image - and I assume that this is because the common information is put out of phase with itself and cancels out.

More technically, the lower the impedance of the added speaker, the louder it will sound. If it is found to be too loud (although this rarely seems to happen), you can either insert a potentiometer (6-12 ohms, at least 10 watts) into the circuit, or move the speaker further away.

Ambient 3: Day of Radiance (1980) is an album by the Americanambient musician Laraaji (alias Edward Larry Gordon), which was produced by Brian Eno.

Overview[edit]

This album is the third entry of Eno's Ambient series, which began in 1978 with Music for Airports, and was preceded by The Plateaux of Mirror. The series ended with On Land.

Compared to the rest of the series, Day of Radiance features very little in the way of electronics. Laraaji uses a variety of acoustic stringed instruments such as a hammered dulcimer and 36-stringed open-tuned zither.

The first three tracks are variations on a theme named 'The Dance', and are delivered in a fast, hypnotic, Gamelan-like, rhythmic pace on a hammered dulcimer. Eno's input is not only in the role of producer; he also adds many creative touches to the natural instrument-sounds. In particular, he 'layers' the tracks, after which he applies various effects to the point at which the dulcimer almost sounds like other instruments.

These processes are particularly noticeable on the last of the 'Dance' pieces. The simple practice of slowing the tape down creates resonances that are deep, and distorted in places.

The final two tracks ('Meditation 1 & 2') are different; more in keeping with the 'ambient' style featured on the rest of the series. These are slow, meandering beatless compositions performed on the zither, with the dulcimer adding the odd highlight. Eno's tactic in these two pieces is mainly to electronically highlight the zither's naturally long decay-rate, creating a highly ethereal sound.
