Question

Did you know? Brian Eno gave the music genre "ambient" its name in 1978. The idea arose when he lay injured in bed and a friend put on a record of classical music — too quiet. Eno couldn't turn it up, but was so absorbed by the combination of rain and quiet music that he decided to make music for the background.
