Curently reading

















Brian Eno is an English electronic musician, music theorist and record producer.As a solo artist, he is probably best known as the father of modern ambient music.
The book published by Faber and Faber in 1996 is divided into two sections. The first part is a diary covering the year 1995, the second part, the 'swollen appendices' of the title is a collection of essays, short stories and correspondence.
The diary covers the year 1995, which proved to be particularly productive for Eno. It details four different musical projects he was involved in, the album Spinner with Jah Wobble, the U2 project Passengers Original Soundtracks 1, David Bowie's Outside and the War Child Charity album The Help Album as well as exploratory sessions with the band James.
