Brian Eno Does Nokia. (1 Viewer)

[Corey]

His teeny-tiny soundscapes were commissioned by nokia last year and are now out on their new range. I'm interested in this. What's the longest/shortest composition you've heard or are aware of?

 

[Rimbaud]

This is really crap news by the way.

Didn't he do the Windows startup sound for Microsoft?

yep.
got paid to compose 4 seconds of music.

See this is what fascinates me. What kind of aesthetic approach would he take to composing four seconds of music? Or would he just fart into a microphone and throw in a couple of effects?

why??

if you read up on him and the purpose of music for airports/ambient nusic is to spread what he does to help life through ambient/whatever music and get ppl into it. to ease day to day life

<bit of a shit explanation but u know what i mean, go to the man himself for a better explanation. do a search on the big long now (was a nirvana song on bleach, remember?) and general ambient music and youll get a better explanation>


fuk knows he doesnt need the money

 

[HMD]

it might make the phones sound ok for a change, but probably not

i agree, and given that he tends to come across as being (judiciously) excited by new mass technologies and their potential in this regard, it sort of fits. projecting, i imagine it afford him the opportunity to do something he finds interesting, and personall i find that very different to someone, say, being in a nokia ad or licensing music for the money and without any personal/emotional/intellectual investment in it.

eno :heart:, in summary.

[Richie]

No idea.. looks like sometime in the last 10 years, anyway. Maybe he was figuring out how to use his new camcorder.

 

[HMD]

looks something like that alright.

And he's going to do that with Nokia phones?Give the man a bit more credit, he's smarter than that.
I see it as nothing but a financial venture for both parties.I can't see it helping mankind through ambience though either...
