news. Tore Pettersen writes: DJ Spooky's new book Sound Unbound
has just been published. DJ Spooky describes it thus -- "It's a manifesto
about sound art, digital media, and what I like to call contemporary composition.
It has essays and interviews from people as diverse as Brian Eno, Pierre Boulez,
Moby, Chuck D, Saul Williams, Jaron Lanier, Pauline Oliveros, Naeem Mohaiemen,
and others." It's published under his name Paul D. Miller. Brian's contribution
is a 10-page essay titled Bells and Their History, so maybe there's
some crossover with the booklet in January 07003.
Coldplay's
playful Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland were interviewed by BBC Radio 1's Jo

(thanks to John Diliberto).
Monday 12th May -- AN INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN ENO: ZELIG IN THE MACHINE
Look in any corner of contemporary music, and Brian Eno is there. Brian Eno celebrates his 60th birthday this week. Rarely has an artist made such a monumental impact on modern music with such subtlety. As part of a week long celebration of Eno's music, we look back at his career with interviews from Eno, Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, and members of Bang on A Can.Tuesday 13th May -- AN INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN ENO: ON AN AMBIENT JOURNEY
The avatar of ambient music tells us the joys of quiet. Ambient music is all around us. Mark Prendergast even wrote a book called The Ambient Century. All of that comes down to Brian Eno, who coined the term "ambient music" in the 1970s, and released his sonic manifesto, Music for Airports. Eno talks about his concepts for ambient music.Wednesday 14th May -- THE WIT & WISDOM OF BRIAN ENO
We hear thoughts and musings from the thinking person's musician. Brian Eno is one of the most profound minds of modern music. He's a conceptualist who applies avant-garde principles to pop music by U2 and Paul Simon, and pop principles to the avant-garde. In this wide-ranging meditation, one of the provocateurs of electronic music talks about the virtues of live performance as well as Abba and heavy metal.Thursday 15th May -- TOUCHED BY ENO
For some musicians, being touched by Eno is like being touched by God. Musicians who weren't even born when Brian Eno recorded his seminal albums have been touched by his music. Artists from across genres, from pop to avant-garde, African to Asian, have found their music shaped by Eno, sometimes directly, often as a life-changing influence. On Brian Eno's 60th birthday, we hear from some of them including Harold Budd, Loop Guru's Dave Muddyman, David Toop, BT and Bluetech.Friday 16th May -- THE WORLD OF BRIAN ENO

This was originally Real video format circa 1995, so the video quality is somewhere

the album, the EPK includes extracts from various recording and discussion sessions,
with some music that didn't make it to the released album. You can see Brian

I would advise that in future you no longer drink 6 litres of water before going

quite such a regular basis. Good night!

Would you
like to sit on Brian Eno? We hope that nobody would dream of suggesting such
a thing. However if you're keen, it appears that Brian has named a seat at The
South Bank Centre. (Yes, we know somebody's decided
to try rebranding it "Southbank Centre" without a "The",
but those renamings seldom work: Reading's natives still refer to The Butts
Centre rather than The Broad Street Mall, and that was changed years
ago.) Perhaps Brian's action is a reference to his suggestion in A
Year With Swollen Appendices: "I mean, you should be able to advertise
'Man seeks position as sofa for large lady' and get lots of sensible replies,
for example."

Richard
Mills opines:
Good times to be had last Monday night (March 17 2008) as Brian Eno, the "brains behind Roxy Music" - OK, OK, my quote, not actually said by anyone other than me - gave another of his unfathomable talks, together with New Yorker professor and chief lecturer Clay Shirky. I must be getting the hang of these as it made much more obvious sense than some of the previous events where subjects matter has included things from... well, what HASN'T it included? They seem to ramble aimlessly on enjoying the view while nerdily recording the rise and rise of technology in modern worlds (real and virtual) and the power networks that inevitably spring from their loins.
Still with me?
Brian started grumpily enough and totally in keeping with his public face-to-face persona by criticising the hosts ICA for using too small a room and therefore "for the 19th time" selling out weeks in advance. "Would someone from the ICA please take note and hire a larger space next time?" he bleated. He had a point - the Nash Room seems like a destination for people who enjoy the longest route to a long-forgotten loft in the rafters of an old mansion-house.
But warming to what is potentially a very cold sterile subject in the wrong hands, Brian softened up and talked about the origins of the Internet, the WELL project, how dentists co-ordinating their diaries were responsible for online bulletin boards, how the Internet "became established as this huge masturbation machine... sorry, I mean marketing tool", flash-mobbing, the formation of the 2006 passenger charter created in USA by the revolt by users of airlines who incarcerate them when flights are grounded using the Web to network and exert their commercial influence, etc etc... we could have talked long into the night but the talk was curtailed after 70 minutes because naturally Brian and Clay have products to sell and sign in the bookstore downstairs - Brian's 2nd edition of 77 Million Paintings DVD and Clay's Here Comes Everybody book.
What was mesmerising between snatches of information was the physical similarity of the two speakers. There may be decades between them in age but both are dome-headed beshaven bespectacled intellects on human legs...and almost interchangeable but for the evident characteristics embued in each by upbringing in Woodbridge, Suffolk and New York respectively. Magic (as Paul Daniels might say).

Have something new that Mark Harrop and I hope you will enjoy.
I have been working with Mark on a pair of related non-commercial video productions since mid-January, 2008, and am pleased to announce the public launch of these extended length productions, presented in full screen high definition HD resolution 1280 x 720P progressive scan format, each about 37 minutes total running time, at Vimeo:
These productions are, to the best of my knowledge, probably the first extended length derivative works (in high definition quality and all original music) that are based on Eno's 77 Million Paintings, made possible by the non-commercial images usage permission as included / stated in the 77-MP software (both 1st and 2nd editions, i.e. versions 1.0 and 1.1). I am happy to say that it has been yet another enjoyable production experience collaborating with Mark Harrop again, who has, through my audition and selection of some of his recent unreleased works, brought forth one of his original algorithmic / generative pieces titled Porthemeor Evening for use with the first video in this pair - 7 Hours in 77 Million Paintings. We are both very happy with the final result of the audio track for 7-HOURS, providing a very different aural mood for the entire piece.
For the second video in the pair, I've decided to revisit Mark's minimalistic ambient piece Dusk Bells, originally released in the Flash based FAME Music Capsule back in 2000.

concert and jammed the Harold Budd Retires helpline afterwards for comfort,
this must be a pavilion of dreams come true. And another thing, at the Here

follow-up to Koan, Tim Cole e-mails: With the release of V1.5 of noatikl,
its generative music engine has been transformed into a powerful trans-generative
music engine through the addition of functionality allowing it to be totally
controlled by a combination of Lua scripts and external MIDI events, either
live -- e.g. from MIDI keyboard, MIDI guitar or other MIDI instrument --or from
a MIDI file. This major extension means that noatikl can now harmonise and flux
around an overall external musical structure, creating MIDI notes and events
which can be used to drive samplers, synths and FX units.
