Brian Eno started as a pop musician, but is also known as a speaker, artist and cultural theorist
Starting out with Roxy Music, Brian Eno has forged far beyond playing keyboards with an art-progressive rock band. His seminal AMBIENT 1: MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS is recognized as the birth of ambient music. These days he composes and records as he pleases and sits on the board of The Long Now Foundation. This is Brian as he looked in the Roxy Music days.

Brian Eno is a member of the board of directors for the Long Now Foundation. The goal of the Long Now group is to foster longer-term human thought. Their feeling is that we are not giving any thought to the long-term results of our actions and way of life, living ignorantly while destroying elements of our own future and the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit.
