I finally got to finish watching last Friday's Arena which finally got around to a bit of intellectual navel gazing with a look at the very broad work of Brian Eno, the creator of the Arena Theme tune - Another Green World though it threw me by not starting with the music but instead used some sawing guitar-based composition which might or might not have been Brain One. No need to worry though for it popped up again at the end over a rolling landscape very much reminiscent of an ambient album.
It is just impossible to categorise the man or his work. He is involved in so much and has the time and resources (Do you mean cash? Ed.) to indulge all those ideas that spin around under that professorial Bone Rain. I was inspired at many points to attempt to reproduce so many of the ideas on this very here Computorial Equipment - the five incommensurate loops of vocal parts that form the second track of Music For Airports, - the light art - the 77 Million Paintings , knowing that I would just be following. So out came my software version of Oblique Strategies to try and select something new but still Enoesque to work on. Not got anything yet.
