Brian Eno: ‘I’ve spent longer in Ireland than I have almost anywhere else’
In a continual sequence of fades, in and out, the programme combines elements of four of the images, accompanied by a constantly changing soundtrack. Intensely coloured, the images mutate against a constant symmetrical template, and both sound and image proceed at quite a slow, hypnotic pace.
Nothing happens suddenly, but no image is ever fixed and static, it is always becoming something else.
“It’s always changing,” Eno says, “and it is slow, deliberately so. You know this notion that we’re all supposed to process stuff faster and faster and can’t fix our attention on anything for more than an instant?” He shakes his head. “It’s not true.”
Still waiting for this to come to Toronto or Montréal.
