Meanwhile, as an increasingly elaborate studio technology was born during the 1970s, Brian Eno, an alumnus of the glam/art-rock band Roxy Music, postulated (drawing in part from John Cage and his antecedent Erik Satie's 1910s concept of furniture music and in part from minimalists such as La Monte Young) that ambient music was ""able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting"".

The ""Thursday Afternoon"" video was conceived as a series of seven ""video paintings"" which can be looked at in passing without demanding full attention from the viewer."
