Brian Eno and The Book I Read

 

Brian Eno wondering about the book he read?

somebody posted the two pictures above and I wondered

why . . . . . .I mean I KNOW why  . . . but why?  . . . . . here’s WHY

The Book I Read (Live at WCOZ, Massachusetts)

The Book I Read (1976 Demo)

none of the posts, including these video YouTube clips mentioned the name of the band so I thought I wonder if someone’s just trying to be weird . . . . . .

Well alright

THE NAME OF THIS BAND IS TALKING HEADS

Birthdays : Brian Eno

 Happy birthday to Brian Eno, born in Melton, Suffolk on this day in 1948.

Michael Nyman - Great Death Game (The Draughtsman’s Contract by Peter Greenaway] | jt1674

  . . . I have mentioned my tutor at college several times and that composer Gavin Bryars held the somewhat unusual post in a Fine Art (Painting) Dept of a polytechnic in Leicester (now De Montfort University) alongside renowned historian Fred Orton and they arranged for Brian Eno to come visit as an outside lecturer. I also I mention perhaps less frequently that Gavin knew the equally extraordinary composer Michael Nyman and he visited as an external lecturer too. 

Thus began life long interests in all three composers and Fred too had an indelible effect upon me through the study group on the iconic avant garde artist Marcel Duchamp. I wrote papers on Francic Picabia and Man Ray also. A life long interest in Richard Hamilton followed for the so called Pop Art master was an authority on Marcel Duchamp (and recreator of the Large Glass) and Eno and of course through Michael’s beautiful work engendered a lifelong interest in iconoclastic filmmaker Peter Greenaway too.

ROXY MUSIC - GRAHAM SIMPSON band co-founder

 As we were mentioning Roxy Music through Phil Manzanera’s 'Diamond Head' and the line up after Brian Eno’s leaving, I noticed a reference to bass player Graham Simpson who it is said started Roxy Music with Bryan Ferry before Eno, Phil and Andy and I looked him up as I hadn’t heard of him.  This is sad but worth a read . . . . 

Andy (I guess), Brian and Graham on SG bass

Brian Ferry’s webpage has a profile which is well worth a read and worth knowing . . . . .a fellow art student at Newcastle under the tutelage of Richard Hamilton [and fellow student Rita Donagh who went on to be Richard’s partner and wonderful artist in her own right], Graham seems to have been an entirely supportive and encouraging voice to Ferry when he was somewhat less self assured. It seems only fair to share this link

Far Out Magazine- Eno’s Top 13 favourite albums

the original article from The Quietus on release of Eno’s The Ship album in 2022 is much more informed and intelligent but sheesh this list is about as pretentious as you can get . . . . . . . how about a top Ten Brian? a Top Twenty even but no . . . a top 13 its called being knowingly perverse and a curmudgeon ( I know, I am one!) but please bet its a different list today

The QUIETUS- Eno’s Baker’s Dozen his favourite records

Court & Spark? Really!?

The Velvet’s is a given but the first the only album? No Reed or Cale on their own? No Discreet Music connection no Gavin Bryars? No Bowie!? No U2 (he produced them) No Devo? He produced them too! Not Talking Heads? Nobody from the ambient scene? No early pop? 

and I really like Me’Shell but favourite album?! Early Steve Reich? the terrible sexist and worst of African resurgence interest, Fela Kuti? Really? Sly and The Family Stone!? REALLY?

If this is an attempt to be gauche and weird it isn’t . . its sort of dull! and predictable in an oddball odd kinda way! Curiously unadventurous and . . . . .well, boring!

Hey Ho each to their own . . . . . .

Eno News - radio show, classes and another book

Brian Eno – new radio show, songwriting course and book! Eno – new songwriting course in January

Brian Eno will be the guest lecturer at the highly regarded online School of Song songwriting course in January. School of Song is a songwriting school that offers month-long creative courses with acclaimed artists (Adrianne Lenker, Robin Pecknold and Laraaji and many others). School of Song’s courses take place online in a live, participatory setting, where guest lecturers interact with students, break down the creative process and develop ideas and approaches to creating material in real time together. Brian’s lectures will take place every Sunday in January at UK 8:00 pm / EST 3:00 pm / PST midday. These will be supported by question and answer sessions at the same times on January 8th, 15th and 22nd. Across these seven sessions, Brian will guide students through his multifaceted relationship to the creative process, sharing techniques and approaches that he has developed throughout his career. Topics will include ‘The Role of Surrender’, ‘Avant Gardening’, ‘Creating a Compelling Sonic World’, ‘Oblique Strategies’, ‘Should Music still be called Music’, among many other themes that will explore these ideas. “I’m looking forward to the chance to properly articulate some ideas about the creative process that have been fermenting over the last 50 years. To be able to do this with some fresh young minds and imaginations was a chance that I couldn’t refuse.” – Brian Eno

Roxy Music BBC Peel Sessions Vol 1 1972 (feat. Brian Eno) | Albums That Should Exist

Roxy Music - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: 1972

Paul says : I have so many hundreds of albums I want to post that it can feel overwhelming. For instance, I have five BBC albums by Roxy Music and another three by their lead singer Bryan Ferry. I just need time to make the cover art and write the write-up. Anyway, I've been sitting on this for ages; it's about time I post it. This is an album of BBC studio sessions by Roxy Music from their first year of success, 1972.

This album consists of two studio sessions, both hosted by BBC DJ John Peel. The first one, consisting of the first five songs here, took place in January 1972. The second one, consisting of the last four songs, took place in May 1972. All but the last song was officially released as part of the "super deluxe edition" of the band's debut album, "Roxy Music."

These sessions came very early in the band's career. Their first public concerts took place in December 1971, yet they were playing for the BBC less than a month later! Even the second session here took place a month before the band released their debut album in June 1972. Not surprisingly, the songs mostly come from that album.

The band's line-up was somewhat in flux during this time. For instance, guitarist David O'List played on the January 1972 BBC session here, but was replaced by Phil Manzanera a month later. Brian Eno was the keyboardist for all of this, even though he wouldn't stay in the band for long.

This album is 45 minutes long.

01 If There Is Something (Roxy Music)
02 The Bob [Medley] (Roxy Music)
03 Would You Believe (Roxy Music)
04 Sea Breezes (Roxy Music)
05 Re-Make-Re-Model (Roxy Music)
06 2HB (Roxy Music)
07 Ladytron (Roxy Music)
08 Chance Meeting (Roxy Music)
09 Bitter End (Roxy Music)

This is great and really high quality! No better live album . . . .

ENO TRAILER |

 Directed by Gary Hustwit. Friday, July 12 – Thursday, July 25 at Film Forum.

Limited screenings • A different version screened each day

Filmmaker Gary Hustwit has created first career-spanning documentary about visionary musician and artist Brian Eno. This innovative bio-doc also elevates the documentary form to become an evergreen, algorithmic performance. Hustwit and creative technologist Brendan Dawes have developed a bespoke generative software designed to sequence scenes and create transitions out of Hustwit’s original interviews with Eno, and Eno’s rich archive of hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage, and unreleased music. Each screening of "Eno" is unique, presenting different scenes, order, music, and meant to be experienced live. The generative and infinitely iterative quality of "Eno" poetically resonates with the artist’s own creative practice, his methods of using technology to compose music, and his endless deep dive into the mercurial essence of creativity. "Eno" opens July 12, 2024 at Film Forum in New York City and Picturehouse Cinemas across England.

as an art ‘idea’ it is mildly interesting, smacks of the dada and surrealist moment but as a paying customer for ‘product’ not so much. . .rich people’s wallpaper . . . . . . . you have to go every time to see the whole thing or do you never ‘see' it? . . . wonder if anyone might piss in it?
