Copyright holder Catpics is in fact the company of Alphons Sinniger, who made the docu.

that's the bloody file, but i think you need to sign in to use it? unless someone can advise a luddite otherwise.

hmm, it seems you only gave clearance for the file to yourself? (tach*** e-mail address)

(asked you for access, let's see if you got that and can give it)

It looks like you have to grant people access?

t****✧✧✧@ya✧✧✧.c✧✧ was given access, but you’re signed in as j*******✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧.

xpost

In any case, if you have the file, uploading it to wetransfer would be even better/more easy

sorry, thought i made it accessible. am wet ransfering. . . give us a half hour
think i fixed the d'box access https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1lqe3b4npusqnv/ENO%20-%20Alphons%20Sinniger.mp4?dl=0
but will follow through w/ the aforementioned and post when done

thanks, that works!

Hero, thanks so much!

<3 <3 <3

second upload failed me so i give up for now, but i'm glad one of 'em worked! but that opening sequence of him on piano is neat. like, no trained musician would likely think to play the keys in such an unconventional way (except maybe Irmin Schmidt?) but the effect is cool as hell

Oh! Thx NTI for the heads-up on this

download works for me... thank you so much!

outdoor_miner is a local hero, thank you

thank you, o_m

oh wow. i had seen brian eno's tweet with the YouTube link yesterday morning and opened it in a window to watch at the end of the day. another thanks to outdoor miner!

That actually isn't Eno's personal twitter -- but that's where I found it as well. And o_m, thanks so much for uploading this -- even tho I shared it, I had the in-laws in town and I hadn't seen it yet either! So I just watched it now.

As noted, this documentary of his first album is like an Easter egg for virtually his whole career in there:

Roxy alumnus and longtime collaborators like Spedding and Busta Cherry Jones
Portsmouth Simphonia
Ambient tape loops
Treatments (with the VCS3 mounted in the board no less)
Muses like Cindy
Busker musicians (how he met Laraaji)

So great.

you forgot "making things out of rubbish" <3

That actually isn't Eno's personal twitter

Too true! Just saw someone who had retweeted it.

THANK YOU for grabbing this outdoor miner ... psyched to watch.
the "brian eno" twitter account is annoying to me — everyone thinks it's eno tweeting out links to king crimson bootlegs for some reason.

are you talking about dark shark?

Yeah that’s the one (the actual content is fine but I think a great deal of his followers think they’re retweeting eno himself).

Same account just posted it on Vimeo:

https://vimeo.com/249138677

yeah it is clearly not actually brian eno. like he sits around tweeting pictures of himself?
he's brian eno!

Could it be Russell Mills?

No, it’s not official in any capacity (which would be fine if if the username wasn’t just “Brian_Eno”).

the Roxy video collection Total Recall includes a clip of Eno leading the band through "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch."

its Saturday morning and i got some coffee and = i am loving this so much rn

who would have access to the video in such pristine quality?

Brian Eno's talking head, Brian_Eno?

idk

i have no idea honestly but is that the first place it showed up to a wider audience? i don't remember the exact # of views it had when i watched it, but it was not a huge number.

it was around 600 views when i watched it. lucky to have caught it! (thanks ilx!)

On Vimeo for the moment.

In other news, I’m enjoying digging into Finding Shore. The obvious reference point is Eno’s work with Budd but this is a very different thing. I’m not familiar with Rogerson‘s work prior to this and while there is plenty of texture there’s also lots of odd, plunky and clunky moments and unresolved harmonies. If anything, I find it more in keeping with some of the slightly grittier digital soundscapes Eno’s been mining since The Ship than much of anything that came before it.

Just walked into the front room and mistook this woman on Come Dine With Me for Brian Eno. pic.twitter.com/Ld9Jt1tRZN

LOL

Uncanny

His influence is everywhere

just heard eno & cale "the river" on wcsb radio right now, didn't know what it was and thought "what the fuck is this, this is like a country song"

it is really good

whole album is essential imo

listened to the rogerson collab this morning — pretty good! some Budd-ian moments, some On Land-type moves ... I liked it.

Interesting approach, iirc. Eno essentially used the piano to trigger various self-generated synth tones and sounds, kind of a fusion of human composition and generative music.

right! here's the PR copy:

Eno's influence on Finding Shore began by enabling Rogerson to overcome his fear of committing any one piece to its own album. As a way to open Rogerson up, Eno suggested they try experimenting with the Piano Bar, an obscure piece of Moog gear that works by using infrared beams focussed on each piano key; these are then broken as the keys are played, transforming the piano's note into a midi signal that can then be used to trigger or generate new, digital sound. As Rogerson improvised at the piano, Eno improvised with the midi signal to create a unique piece of music.

Iirc for maybe Budd's Plateaux of Mirrors or the Pearl, Eno apparently had the piano room pumped full of mist.

Except that, um, Ring of Fire actually is a country song, so ...

I love how much Eno and Lanois use the Omnichord.

His “You Don’t Miss Your Water” is great too. No Omnichord IIRC but great flat stacks of Eno harmonies.

the lovely bones soundtrack is so good i almost want to watch the movie
