BBC World News - HARDtalk, Brian Eno

Stephen Sackur talks to Brian Eno, the hugely influential contemporary music maker.

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.
