SUMMARY:How Things are Made - Celebrating Brian Eno’s seminal work\, “Music for Airports”
DESCRIPTION: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 9th – March 12th. \n”The airport is a slow teleportation device that allows a person to wake up in one place and dine in another\, thousands of miles away. This rush of possibility arouses different emotions: ebullience and ecstasy\, stress and annoyance\, pensiveness and acceptance. Brian Eno coined the term “ambient” to describe the music and\, perhaps\, also set it apart from the hollow cheerfulness of muzak and easy listening. Ambient music does not insist on an emotional change. It doesn’t insist on anything. Eno wrote\, “it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.” \nFormed in 2016\, How Things Are Made–the trio of Brian Riordan\, Matt Aelmore\, and David Bernabo–are a contemporary electroacoustic band\, often performing ambient and drone-based works to accompany dance and reiki sessions or\, alternatively\, experimenting with computer programming to create new processes for making sounds. \nFor a performance at the airport\, the band would be the duo of Brian Riordan and David Bernabo. We would like to take a page from Brian Eno’s “Music for Airports” record and produce gentle\, tonal music that emulates the feeling of floating in space and “diffusing the anxious atmosphere of an airport terminal.” We will be playing synthesizers and custom electronic software to allow for real-time composition. \nThe band has released 84 records\, produced two six-hour concerts overstuffed with guest musicians\, commissioned 50 compositions from the likes of Sarah Hennies\, Helen He\, and Jonghee Kang\, and most recently produced a series of four-hour continuous drone music concerts that were accompanied by dancers from The Pillow Project.

SUMMARY:2020k - Celebrating Brian Eno’s seminal work\, “Music for Airports”
DESCRIPTION: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 9th – March 12th. \n“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.” \n2020k 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.
