Brian Eno Discusses "77 Million Paintings"

Brian Eno discusses his latest sound and light work, "77 Million Paintings" now on display in New York.

Brian Eno, Innovator..."Scape"

I'm actually kind of interested in this tool from Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers.  It's an interesting application in the sense that it appears that it takes little to no music playing ability to use, but the real art here would be the user's sense of texture and idea...the algorithm apparently composes the music (generative music)- this means that the curator of the sound has little to no say over the composition as the music plays, but can certainly change the inputs.  As the user gets more familiar with the tones and "scapes," more are unlocked- I like this idea.  It's tempting to just move on to the next option when there are so many, and easy to get overwhelmed.

 I'm warming up a bit to things like this.  Going only from the demo, the tones are excellent, and odd...lonesome in the sense of retrofuturistic film or mid 70's science documentaries- sounds I've always been a fan of.

Brian.  Eno.  

Brian Eno x "2 Forms of Anger"

I was pretty excited over Brian Eno's upcoming sound monster only seeing the amazing packaging it is to be wrapped in...but now I feel that my excitement is a little more legit. Take a listen below and tell me I'm wrong.  Eno's gone kraut!
