Brian Eno

Former member of Roxy Music and styled the 'brainiest guy in pop', Brian Eno's work is prolific and varied, but what is he? A musician, composer, or an artist impossible to label?

Stephen Sackur talks to Brian Eno, the hugely influential contemporary music maker once styled the 'brainiest guy in pop' - except the word 'pop' doesn't really fit. Briefly a member of Roxy Music in the early seventies, he then went his own way, creating ambient music, developing audio-visual installations and collaborating with a host of big names including Bowie, U2 and Coldplay. His output has been prolific and varied, but what is he? A musician, a composer, or an artist impossible to label?
