It’s no small testament to Todd Haynes that this is the second interview this website’s conducted with him since August. Although the opening of his newest film, Wonderstruck, is a proper excuse, that’s only ostensibly the occasion; the truth is that we’d gladly go over his decades- and genre-spanning filmography any day of the week and still have plenty of ground to cover.
So it’s doubly to our fortune that Wonderstruck befits multiple rounds of discussion. A children’s adventure movie wrapped in a two-pronged period piece that can hardly conceal the tragedies this kind of work so often doesn’t want you to think about, it finds Haynes and the usual band of collaborators — Dp Ed Lachman, composer Carter Burwell, and costume designer Sandy Powell among them — working on their biggest canvas yet. For recalling the director’s artistic history as much as anything else,...

Gwen Stefani is the latest star to memorialize the late, great David Bowie on social media following his death at 69 on Sunday. The Voice coach shared a series of photos of herself with Bowie to Instagram, including an old image of the British rocker posing with Stefani's band, No Doubt. In the group picture, Stefani and bandmates Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young flank Bowie on both sides. The rock icon beamed in a white tunic and matching pants. Stefani, now 46, posed alone with Bowie in two other photos posted Monday. Wearing a three-piece suit in one, Bowie held tight to the blonde singer.

David Bowie was quick in wit to the end. The rock icon was 69 when he died of cancer on Sunday. And before his passing, Bowie began saying goodbye. Longtime collaborator Brian Eno was in touch with Bowie just a week before his death. "David's death came as a complete surprise, as did nearly everything else about him. I feel a huge gap now," Eno said in a statement honoring his friend. "We knew each other for over 40 years ... Over the last few years - with him living in New York and me in London - our connection was by email.

As the tributes to David Bowie continue to pour in, some of the late singer's closest friends and collaborators have begun to share their personal memories. We've already heard from Bowie's longtime producer Tony Visconti, and now Bowie's Berlin-era partner Brian Eno is opening up about his final interaction with the shape-shifting star. In a statement to BBC News, Eno says that he and Bowie had been discussing over email the prospect of revisiting 1995's Outside on a new project together. "We both liked that album a lot and felt that it had fallen through the cracks," he says. "We talked about revisiting it, taking it somewhere new. I was looking forward to that." But, as Eno recalls, Bowie's last sentence in an email to Eno sent just one week ago had a valedictory air: "Thank you for our good times, Brian. They will never rot." Eno now says that...

I was gutted by the news shared by playwright/producer Jeff Cohen as he and I walked our dogs in Riverside Park early this morning. The Thin White Duke was no more. I struggled to understand the implications of losing a music hero. Rushing home, resigned to reality, I watched his two new videos, the one above and the ablum's title track which I featured on this website last week, both from his 28th studio album, ★(Blackstar), released this past week on January 8th, 2016, the date of Bowie's 69th birthday. As I watched "Lazarus" again, it all made sense.
"Lazarus" is clearly Bowie's epitaph, his final prophetic performance on this mortal coil...
Look up here / I'm in heaven I've got scars that can't be seen I've got drama that can't be stolen Everybody knows me now...
The coins on his eyes, the pallor of his skin, his frail body wrapped in a fashionalbe shroud.

The new Lff strand that opened this year with Christopher Nolan and Tacita Dean in a crusading mood about the future of celluloid ended with Laurie Anderson and Brian Eno musing on the cross-currents in their careers between film, music and performance. Lff Connects has been a series of talks looking at the way film engages across all of the creative sectors. Guy Maddin, games designer Alistair Hope and documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux were among the other speakers. The final event was actually billed as a showcase for Anderson, the musician and performance artist whose gorgeous new feature "Heart of a Dog" (HBO Documentary Films, October 21) screened at the festival; but when her old friend and colleague Eno came on board to conduct the conversation, the result became a two-way riff on whatever seemed to take their fancy. Some of their more eccentric (and very funny) wanderings included Donald Trump’s appalling taste in architecture,...

“From early on, R.E.M. and Brian Eno were a band and a musician that sort of factored into the time that David Lipsky and David Foster Wallace spent together,” director James Ponsoldt told ComingSoon recently. “And they had conversations about what they listened to. So I knew that R.E.M. and Eno would feature in the movie.” And indeed they do. Lakeshore Records has released details on the soundtrack for “The End of The Tour,” Ponsoldt’s latest drama that stars Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel.

The legendary musician, producer, innovator and thinker Brian Eno once famously called the Nigerian Afrobeat meter one of the three greatest drumbeats of the 1970s (along with Germany’s propulsive Motorik pulse and James Brown's Stubblefield-driven funky drummer groove). And Eno's early declarations have hardly proved wrong over the decades, often turning into reliable maxims. While genius drummer Tony Allen would physically provide the rhythm, the Afrobeat sound was conceived and pioneered by Fela Anikulapo Ransome Kuti, the multi-instrumentalist godfather of this remarkable polyrhythmic African jazzfunk genre. Kuti was to Afrobeat what Bob Marley was to reggae, what Brown was to funk; a musical giant in the scene with few rightful claimers to the throne. But unlike his contemporaries who are all recognized legends worldwide, Kuti still remains largely a musical cult figure to this day.

The most popular poster I’ve posted on my Movie Poster of the Day Tumblr in the past quarter—with over 1,000 likes and reblogs—has been this rarity that popped up at Posteritati this Spring. A British Double Crown (10" shorter than a one sheet) for a 24 minute documentary about the experimental music genius Brian Eno, made in 1973 at the start of his post-Roxy solo career, the poster’s popularity is no doubt due as much to the reverence Eno is held in as to its graphic design. But it is still a terrific poster, making simple yet brilliant use of two color printing and showcasing a multitude of Enos in all his glam rock glory. The text in the corner credits Blue Egg Printing and Design Ltd. and if anyone knows anything more about that company I’d love to hear about it.

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno has led a multi-faceted life. To modern rock fans he's perhaps best known as the imaginative producer of U2's, David Bowie's, and Talking Heads' most adventurous work, and secondarily remembered as an early and eccentric member of Roxy Music. To new age and techno fans, he's the de facto inventor of the ambient music genre. Pop fans can thank him for the best work by James, Coldplay, and Ultravox. Punk fans owe him one for No New York's introduction of the four most iconic No Wave Bands.
His collaborations with Harold Budd (favorite: The Pearl), Robert Fripp (favorite: (no pussyfooting)), David Byrne (the groundbreaking My Life in the Bush of Ghosts), John Cale (especially the delightful Wrong Way Up), and others sometimes find him as much a facilitator as a creator, yet still have an ineffable Eno-ness to them.

Traffic: Mr. Fantasy Aka Heaven Is in Your Mind (Island)
Shortly after Steve Winwood quit the Spencer Davis Group (of which he was the lead singer and organist), he formed Traffic with some guys he'd jammed with at a club in Birmingham: guitarist/vocalist Dave Mason, saxophonist/flutist Chris Wood, and drummer/lyricist Jim Capaldi. After a couple of hit singles, they convened at a country cottage and put together the debut album by Traffic, titled Mr. Fantasy in their native country. By the time it was released, Mason had already quit.

The LP, entitled Lux, will feature four tracks, all of which run between 18 and 20 minutes—so Eno is clearly gunning for the Top 40 on this one.

(Very arguably, and we’d probably be the ones to argue, having had some exposure to the Eno of the ‘80s, ‘90s and today). Still, there’s no denying 1971-1977 in the visionary musician/artist/producer’s life was a dynamic one, and the film exhaustively maps it out: his early Roxy Music days; his initial solo music career; his burgeoning confidence with the new technologies that essentially become his instrument; his multiple collaborations with artists known and unknown; his...

How to Change the World Brian Eno & James Thorton chaired by Anne McElvoy The Globe Hall, Hay on Wye, United Kingdom Saturday, 9 June 2012 How the Light Gets In is a wonderfully eclectic confection of philosophy, art, film, and music. An annual event spread over eleven days in the small market town of Hay on Wye, it is stimulating. diverse, and largely at the mercy of the elements. A strangely appealing mixture of tents and marquees spread, in a seemingly random fashion, over a site that has a myriad of pathways and stairs. You get the feeling of being transported back centuries to a rustic fair. Today the sun is shining, a direct flip of the downpour of yesterday, and there's an air of celebration added by the bars, and the constant variety of singers and entertainers who are happy to perform to the few or many who decide to stop and listen.

Twenty years ago, U2 — slightly removed from the double-barrel success of The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum — were a band in crisis. Sure, they were arguably the biggest rock act on the planet, but, for the first time in their career, they had felt the sting of critical backlash: Many felt Hum's accompanying documentary, which followed the band across America, was grandiose and self-righteous (even its director would later call it "pretentious"), and the group couldn't help but wonder if perhaps the critics were right.

That's Ok, though. None of the hugest bands on the planet (the U2s, Linkin Parks, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.) are practiced in the art of subtlety. It is simply not in their nature. Instead, they deal in universal themes, paint with the broadest of brushstrokes. That is, one could reasonably assume, at least partially why they are so popular: They make music that is massive and, of course, for the masses.

It’s hard to argue that Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel, who collectively form Holy Ghost!, weren’t destined to make music together. The duo met at ages 7 and 6, respectively, and their musical kinship grew right along with their burgeoning friendship. Their debut album is a catchy-as-hell throwback to the disco pop sounds of yesteryear, and we have become quite enamored with the new group, who hail from the Big Apple.
Millhiser and Frankel grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and met in elementary school. Their musical endeavors first began in fourth grade during an elective rock band class, where they found themselves playing covers of classics like “Lean on Me.” Their love for the rap of the mid-to-late ‘90s led them to create Automato in their high school years. The group even got a record deal and released an album in 2004. Unfortunately, the rap crew soon dissolved,...

Coldplay have released several details about their fifth album and they decided to call it "Mylo Xyloto" which is pronounced my-lo zy-letoe. Once again, the record will feature additional contributions from producer Brian Eno who, at the same time, provides "enoxification" for the highly-anticipated album.
"Mylo Xyloto" actually had been suggested by the band's fan back in July. The fan searched information on Chris Martin and found out that the title was registered on the Performing Rights Society website. No clue on the meaning behind the title but latin dictionary explains that "mylo" means "disambigious" and "xyloto" is used to describe a family of hooverfly insects.
Available in digital, CD and vinyl formats, the new album will hit the stores in the U.S. on October 25. "A special limited edition Pop-Up Album version will also be available, which will include a 12" x 12" hardback book containing graffiti pop-up art designed by David A.

For all of his prolificacy, his repertoire, his universal influence and all the hushed tones surrounding his name, Brian Eno has never really made music for singing. He’s certainly played around with the idea; his landmark work through the ‘70s featured intermittent vocal support, and his partnership with David Byrne has produced some honest-to-god pop songs—but most of these moments seemed entwined to the very essence of the music, the songwriting becoming a primary instrument. This isn’t the case with Drums Between the Bells; while texturally it runs the gambit of Eno’s various guises over the years, the voices present...

It’s appropriate that the first single from Drums Between The Bells, Brian Eno’s second album for progressive electronic label Warp, is called “Glitch.” On that track, Eno has a man with a thick, monotone Polish accent recite a poem by London multimedia artist Rick Holland, over a track that toggles between staccato trip-hop and a dot-matrix machine printing a Flying V. One of 2011’s most visceral jams is totally 1997: Holland’s writing is choppy techno-dystopia of Ok Computer vintage, and Eno’s track recalls Warp’s own Aphex Twin.

Musician, composer, record producer, music theorist, singer and visual artist covers some of what he does, but he's probably best known for his early work with 'Roxy Music', his production duties for 'U2' and 'Coldplay' and as one of the principal innovators of ambient music..."
The new doc explores Eno's life, career and music between the years 1971 and 1977, the period that some view as his golden age, others as just one era in a long, extraordinary and very eclectic career.

Behold the best movie soundtracks of last year. After what seemed like a sluggish start, 2010 actually turned out to be a pretty decent one for motion picture soundtracks. Not a great one admittedly, with there scarcely being a glut of classic albums as we survey the output of the year just gone from the hindsight-tabulous vantage point of January 2011. But a handful sneaked through to thrill us lucky listeners.
If we’re looking for trends with which to characterise 2010, then two things stand out. Firstly, the sheer importance of music to the entire endeavour of movie-making was underlined for the nth but not final time, with many of the best soundtracks of the year belonging to what were also some of the best films of the year (The Social Network, Black Swan, Monsters). And secondly, that while some of the old guard are delivering increasingly formulaic work (Danny Elfman, I am looking at you.

Coldplay are working with a "brutal" producer on their new album. The "Viva La Vida" hitmakers started writing their forthcoming fifth album with Brian Eno, but he suggested they also draft in someone else to help them edit their work, which led to the group hiring Markus Dravs, on the recommendation of Arcade Fire singer Win Butler.
Frontman Chris Martin said, "We'd just met with Bran Eno and he said, 'We also need another person, because I like to do the sort of sowing of the seeds, the more abstract stuff, but we also need a woodchopper guy who's gonna organize everything. Win said 'You should try this guy Markus. He's wonderful and he's extremely talented, but he's brutal. 'This is terrible' or 'this is great'. He's extreme."
Chris thinks this is a great thing for the group as it means they have no space to become complacent. He added,...

A concert movie featuring the ever-inventive David Byrne, showcasing an album he made with Eno. By Andrew Pulver
Despite the presence of cutting-edge new media designer Hillman Curtis behind the camera, this is a pretty straightforward concert movie featuring an impressively spry David Byrne, in which the onetime Talking Head showcases songs from the Everything That Happens Will Happen Today album he made with Brian Eno. In between each song, Curtis inserts a short interview segment, the most interesting of which are chats with the avant-garde choreographers Byrne commissioned to put together dance sequences for the stage show. Unfortunately Curtis doesn't do a particularly good job of filming the action, resorting to prosaic mid-shots rather too often to develop a sense of spectacle. But Byrne comes across as an affable, watchable performer, always up for a new idea or three.

The best soundtracks of 2010 are somewhat varied and random. Not always does a great film produce great music and sometimes a horrible film can have decent music, there is no pattern. Thus, I have made my own very subjective selective pattern. Using my main theory that a soundtrack is best when it reflects and capitalizes on the moments and story of the film and weaker when its motive is good music placed thoughtlessly in scenes, each inclusion still has its own exceptions. For instance, monotony is not a highly praised quality, but see how many Brian Eno and Broken Social Scene tracks are present on this list! So read, enjoy, agree or disagree because it is all in good fun.

Brian Eno has been releasing a series of performance videos, one each week for the past seven, featuring live improvised compositions with collaborators Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams. All of them, called Seven Sessions On a Milk Sea, are up on various sites around the world, The New York Times, Japan's RO69, etc, and you can link to them all from here. [Pitchfork]
Each was shot (and hued differently for each session, red, gold, blue, no your video card is not burning out) in Eno's London studio during the making of his new album, "Small Craft On A Milk Sea."
You'll have to head to the sites themselves to watch Eno work his magic as none of the videos are embeddable. Before you do, watch this amusing interview in which Dick Flash asks Eno if his work should even be called music at all, or if it is a new...

Follow-up to Viva la Vida doesn't yet have a release date or title.

One of the endearing quirks of Coldplay is that, despite their slow march to worldwide rock stardom over the past decade, they've remained self-deprecating and firmly focused on writing expansive pop songs without falling into the trap of trying to become "important."
But in the sessions for their fifth album, the follow-up to the smash 2008 hit Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, singer Chris Martin and his band are finally taking the dreaded "CA" plunge — as in "concept album."
"It's from the point of view of two people who are a bit lost," Martin told BBC News about the Brian Eno-produced disc. "Two like-minded outsiders who meet in a very difficult environment and therefore have a journey together."

The Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps soundtrack. Given the abominable unpopularity of the banking community in the wake of the great financial hullabaloo of autumn 2008, most people would probably prefer it if the soundtrack to any new movie about Wall Street was dominated by the noise of guillotine blades swooshing in rapid downward trajectories, banker’s heads rolling loose from their bodies and their blood sloshing down the famed Manhattan locale in a humungous scarlet tsunami of evil, greedy sh*tbaggery. As it happens this is not the aural accompaniment chosen for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – unsurprisingly given that its backers at Fox clearly fancy their Shia and Carey-led movie as a rather marketable affair (it is a film wreathed in product placement, including, most bizarrely, particular prominence being given to a well-known brand of crisps seconds before a character kills himself. Delightful connotation, no?).

Brian Eno has said that he is pleased to have signed a deal with Warp. The musician and producer releases Small Craft On A Milk Sea on November 2 in various formats. The album was recorded in collaboration with Jon Hopkins and Leon Abrahams. Speaking about his recording partners, Eno told The Quietus: "The two of them are gifted young player/composers whose work, like mine, is intimately connected to the possibilities and freedoms of electronic music. "Over the last few years we've worked together several times, enjoying exploring the huge new sonic territories now available to musicians. Mostly the pieces on this album resulted not from (more)...

A statement on the official Warp page read "Brian Eno - Coming Soon To Warp Records". Eno's site gives users the chance to enter their email address for further news updates. According to The Guardian, a blog post on guitarist/engineer Leo Abraham's website revealed details about the forthcoming project, but the message has since been taken down.

Few official details are available about the new album, though Exclaim says that a new album could come as early as October or November. The composers' last proper solo studio set, "Another Day on Earth," dropped in 2005.

In Praise Of… Dune (1984)
As all good geeks are well aware, 1982 is considered a high water mark for genre films. It may not have translated into box office mojo, but that year gave us an unbelievable string of classics: Tron, Blade Runner, The Dark Crystal, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, E.T., The Thing, Poltergeist, and, yeah, Ok, The Secret of Nimh. But I like to remember another special year of Hollywood Science Fiction and Fantasy, one that gets a little short changed in light of that roster of beauties, but holds a special place in my heart: 1984. Orwell’s signature year gave us Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Gremlins, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, 2010 and David Lynch’s much maligned box office bomb, Dune.
Now, once again, I’m not here to go into...

It's one of the eternal challenges of the musician: to describe the sound you hear in your head and translate it into a song that will stir emotion in your fans. Even harder, though, is describing those songs before they are even halfway finished and trying to make sense of what they may turn into.
In the case of Coldplay, that job currently falls to the mysterious "Roadie #42," who has been posting infrequent updates on the band's website, the latest of which promises that the tunes for their follow up to the world smash Viva la Vida will be full of, well, "killer" songs.

The brainiac author of Outliers and The Tipping Point has put philosophical musing on to the bestseller lists, but what does he enjoy when he's not working up a new theory?
Malcolm Gladwell may well be the smartest guy in the room. The Sideshow Bob-haired New Yorker journalist has topped bestseller lists all over the globe with his intuitive investigations into how social forces change the way we live and interact such as Blink, The Tipping Point and Outliers. He's been namechecked by Bill Clinton, sold millions of books and is about to embark on a speaking tour of the UK. In his latest book, What The Dog Saw – a collection of his best New Yorker essays – Gladwell laterally thinks about what makes people employable; whether Enron's downfall was due to there being too much information available to curious journalists and stock analysts; and whether genius comes late, like Cezanne's,...

Brian Eno has called on people to reassess how they feel about the concepts of "control" and "surrender". The musician and producer told The Guardian that artists and people should keep both notions in balance. Eno said: "We've tended to dignify the controlling end of the spectrum. We have Nobel prizes for that end. "We've tended to think of the surrender end as a luxury, a nice thing you add to your life when you've done the serious work of getting a job, getting your pension sorted out. I'm saying that's all wrong. "Control and surrender have to be kept in balance. That's what surfers do - take (more)...

That's according to Eno himself, who told BBC Radio's 6 Music that he's joined forces with the band again (he produced 2008's Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends) for an album that should be available just in time for the holidays.
"I think it could be. It's quite different from anything they've done before ... so far, anyway," Eno said. "I don't know how it will end up being, but it's very fresh."
