Brian Eno deconstructs Pachelbel's 'Canon'

Brian Eno's "Deconstructed" Pachelbel

Although he made his fame in rock — first as the flamboyant keyboardist for Roxy Music in the 1970s and then as a Grammy-winning producer in the ‘80s — Brian Eno’s background in conceptual art has resulted in tons of innovative musical experimentation over the decades, including his groundbreaking “ambient music” recordings. We hear the eerie results of his creative tinkering with the score of Pachelbel’s Canon on this week’s episode of Extra Eclectic, with Steve Seel.
