listened to the rogerson collab this morning — pretty good! some Budd-ian moments, some On Land-type moves ... I liked it.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:38 (six years ago) link
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.
― Bitcoin Baja (wins), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
His “You Don’t Miss Your Water” is great too. No Omnichord IIRC but great flat stacks of Eno harmonies.

Some stuff on the underrated second Brian Eno/Karl Hyde album is as lovely as anything he has ever done. Thinking specifically of "Cells & Bells," which is ... not on youtube.

both of those hyde albums are great. I liked the second one more than the first when it came out, but now I like them both equally.
― akm, Monday, 8 January 2018 22:11 (six years ago) link
yeah these days I can't remember which one was slighted in the reviews
― niels, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 07:20 (six years ago) link
i thought the second one was the more celebrated of the two. never got round to hearing the first because of all the reviews i saw were kind of lukewarm
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:40 (six years ago) link
they pair together extremely well. but cells and bells is the best song from either album and it's weird that it was only released on the vinyl.
― akm, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:52 (six years ago) link
First one got a lukewarm reception, second one much more enthusiastically received. But because the first one got the lukewarm reception a lot of people didn't listen to the second one, which is why I said it was underrated. I should have said it was under listened to.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 12:30 (six years ago) link
the second one was allegedly more off-the-cuff and improvised than the first. although it doesn't really sound that way to me.
― akm, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 12:45 (six years ago) link
anyway lately I've been getting into Roger Eno, who I dismissed for years. But Voices is a very lovely album, and I even like the new-agey boring Channel Light Vessel and the album with Kate St. John.
I wasn't aware that I'd missed an exclusive Eno/Hyde track. But it's "On A Grey Day" not "Cells and Bells", right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfgm-zrA3X8
Okay, that's tremendous and def worth the search. And since I picked up the CD of High Life, I don't have "Slow Down, Sit Down and Breathe" either. Disappointing although this one seems to have a lesser impact.
I've also been on a Roger Eno reevaluation. He's far deeper into the classical/romantic pool than his brother but Roger's albums are only a short distance from latter period Roedelius and all of the currently hip 80s instrumental artists from Japan, Spain and Italy. You might want to check the more rhythmic collaborations with Plumbline, which are livelier than the CLV albums.

(Roger) Eno's "Voices" is a beaut. It's produced by Lanois and features Brian, which makes it a close cousin to "Apollo," in some regards. This is my fave from it:

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
Mine is “Grey Promenade,” the last track. The warble on the piano reverb is exquisite. Tho I actually prefer Roger’s second album, Between Tides, which is less indebted to Eric Satie and produced by Michael Brook.

The Models. The first appearance of Sioxsie and the Banshees, the amazing Rema Rema. Also co-wrote most of Adam Ant's hits. Punk rock legend.
