Brian Eno - Music for Installations - 9LP Box set - this is sealed as new. Please be aware there is a 6" slit in the cellophane however this does not impact on the box set.
Description:
Musician, producer, visual artist, thinker and activist Brian Eno first came to international prominence in the early '70s as a founding member of Roxy Music, and immediately followed with a series of critically-praised and influential solo albums. His visionary production includes albums with David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, Laurie Anderson and Coldplay, whilst his long list of collaborations includes recordings with John Cale, David Byrne, Grace Jones and James Blake.
Music For Installations is a 9L box set collection of new, rare and previously unreleased music, all of which was recorded by Brian Eno for use in his installations covering the period from 1986 until the present (and beyond). Over this time, he has emerged as the leading exponent of "generative" music worldwide and is recognized as one of the foremost audio-visual installation artists of his time. Eno's visual experiments with light and video have proved to be the fertile ground from which so much of his other work has grown and they cover an even longer span of time than his recordings, paralleling his musical output in recent decades. These highly-acclaimed works have been exhibited all over the globe - from the Venice Biennale and the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg to Beijing's Ritan Park and the sails of the Sydney Opera House.
Designed by Brian Eno and long-time collaborator Nick Robertson, this beautifully bound package comes with a64-page booklet featuring rare and unseen exhibition photographs and a new essay written by Eno. "If you think of music as a moving, changing form, and painting as a still form, what I'm trying to do is make very still music and paintings that move," explains Eno. "I'm trying to find in both of those forms, the space in between the traditional concept of music and the traditional concept of painting."
