This is cute but I think it violates the artistic integrity of his piece. The whole point of the 95 startup chime as a piece of art was that Eno took the job because he was fascinated with the idea of creating musical art entirely within a tiny time interval.
Imagine if Walt Whitman became interested in writing haiku for a little while, but because he'd previously written epic poems, hey, let's stretch out his haiku to epic length. No.
- jjulius 3y agoYou're not wrong about the "point" of Eno's original approach to the chime, but I think you're taking things a bit too seriously and I respectfully disagree that it "violates the artistic integrity of his piece".
- easyThrowaway 3y agoI suggest you watching the interview of Zane Lowe with both Eno[1] and his nephew Fred "again." Gibson [2], It's clearly apparent that Eno loves this kind of "disrespectful" experiments.
