Opal? Is her middle name Editions EG?

It’s Judith. The Opal is actually a Syd Barrett reference despite the different spelling.

Dan, I was thinking of your post as soon as Josh posted his. I must be doing something wrong with my girls because they mostly think I’m a dork for playing this stuff.

Heard someone suggest that True Thrush by Dan Deacon was a tribute to Eno’s vocal albums and now I can’t stop hearing it

XP - Eno is gold all the way through that documentary, telling the little girl outside during the eclipse that his name is Quincy Jones.

Anyone read his new book? It's in my Amazon cart but I've yet to pull the trigger
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 26 February 2021 12:54 (three years ago) link
I read it back when it first came out. Well worth your time, if only for his weird digressions (like, iirc, tasting his own urine out of curiosity, or, not unrelated, supposedly sneaking a vial of his urine to a Ducahmp exhibit to spray on his "Fountain," reasoning that Duchamp would have wanted that).

lol, I've been listening to the expanded reissue of Mixing Colours for a month or so now, and all this time I've been assuming it was initially recorded like 30 years ago... imagine my surprise when I looked at the liner notes and saw it's originally from 2020!
This is one of the finest examples of an ambient recording that can phase shift between inconsequential and arresting... like an optical illusion, sometimes you can compel this to happen with mysterious concentration, other times it seems beyond your grasp. I love it!

Huh:
Brian Eno is pleased to share with you the launch of his new station, The Lighthouse, out now on Sonos Radio HD, which features decades of unreleased music from his extensive archive. The Lighthouse will serve as a living collection where Eno will premiere both past and new musical projects directly to fans across the world, giving listeners rare insight into an illustrious career spanning more than 50 years of creating, producing and redefining music.
The renowned musician will premiere 300 tracks on the new station, including unreleased, old and new work

Would prefer this as a gigantic SoundCloud dump tbh, but intriguing!
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 16:15 (three years ago) link
I think he said that right now the earliest track is from 1990, which is slightly less interesting, because it probably just means tons of generative stuff, but who knows.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 9 June 2021 16:17 (three years ago) link
his generative music is good
― eisimpleir (crüt), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 16:58 (three years ago) link
I agree, but it's generative, so he could have his own station playing a song that is constantly changing forever if he wanted to.

I've never seen this, it's a good adjunct to the re-release of the '95 diary, lot's of footage in his studio while working on Force Marker (that got used in the Heat soundtrack)

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but we've lost another collaborator - Djivan Gasparyan died on Tuesday. I got his two All Saints released as part of Warp's AS reissue series a few years back and they are truly gorgeous. Gutting to lose so many of the All Saints / Opal set in such a short space of time :(

"edition of 50"
"enquire"
I'm pretty sure most people can't afford it. Anyway Im' sure the lights cause a hum that gets picked up by the cartridge or whatever, but it does look cool.

That hum is a seed tone for the generative music that the turntable plays when it's not actually playing a record.

As a limited edition of 50, by a major artist, I don't know what price would be fair, but 20,000? Sure, why not.

In fact, I got a tape of that in my stocking in 1990. I think that was my last year with stocking stuffers, too. I retain the association with Toblerone.

Listened to some of that Lighthouse show today. Really enjoyable! Did he do more than that one episode?
― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 3 March 2022 04:53 (two years ago) link
I remember when that Lighthouse radio project thing came out, they were saying they'd keep adding music to it and might even go earlier than the 90's. I'm very curious whether they ever actually did add more to it. Is there just this wide, wild Eno vault quietly being opened up over there? I guess I'd have to pay to find out.
