2020k – Celebrating Brian Eno’s seminal work, “Music for Airports”

PIT Music for Airports is an annual celebration of ambient music and emotional atmosphere in travel, featuring Pittsburgh-based artists to reinterpret Brian Eno’s seminal work, Music for Airports, and transform the airport into a space of calm, creativity, and serenity. In March 2026, travelers and staff at PIT will again experience ambient music from March 9^th – March 12^th.

“The sonic exploration contained in Brian Eno’s Music For Airports is one of the most unique pieces of sound design in that it encapsulates every space it’s played in. As a seminal piece of music, it remains timeless and relevant and was a gateway for me into adjacent ambient heroes like Aphex Twin and Hiroshi Yoshimura.”

2020k is a Queer Pop and Experimental Electronic project solely headed by artist RJ Kozain, who was raised and currently resides in the Pittsburgh, PA area. 2016’s “Burst Mode” is the debut album from 2020k and was almost exclusively written, produced, engineered, and released (via a self-started independent label imprint, 2020k LLC) by Kozain himself and was re-released in a digital deluxe format on Bandcamp in December 2019. The record addresses various subjects with its music and visual presentations on how humanity interacts with technology in the 21st century, as well as explores themes of anxiety, love, politics, queer art, and sexuality. “Burst Mode (Digital Deluxe)” comes after a long recovery with post-concussion syndrome that came on a week before the original release of the record and lasted a year and a half.
