Brian Eno

Brain Eno, the father of ambient music, is still in the vanguard. Take his recent collaboration with David Byrne. Byrne wrote lyrics in New York to the instrumental tracks Eno had sent from Lon-don. Then they prereleased the album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, online. Now he's curating a lights-and-music festival in Australia that includes his own light show projected on the Sydney Opera House. -- by Genevieve Knapp
