Music For The Bionic Ear premieres in two weeks’ time so I’ve been busy tidying the completed work, after a hectic week correcting an almighty stuff-up. What follows is a blog post I’d forgotten I’d written until I found it this afternoon while looking for something else.
Listened to 1/1 off Brian Eno’s Music For Airports for the first time in years. Much more happening than I remembered.
- My ear training has come along.
- I’m listening to a different mix that’s been “punched up” for today’s attention-deficit culture.
- Small, cheap speakers bring out the synth treatments more.
- My old LP pressing was really crap.
Seemed shorter, too (cf. years of listening to La Monte Young, Iced Vo Vos used to be bigger etc.)
