New, rare and previously unreleased music will feature on a vast boxset by Brian Eno. Due on 4 May, Music For Installations is a 6CD and 9LP set containing work Eno has produced for various events and audio-visual installations from 1986 right up to the current day. Eno worked with long-time collaborator Nick Robertson to create various formats including a limited edition numbered package containing a 64-page Plexiglas bound book with rare and unseen exhibition photos along with a typically enlightening new essay written by Eno himself.
Eno recently opened Bloom: Open Space in Amsterdam – an art and music installation using 3D technology. “I want to be able to be inside the music, to walk around and examine it from different places,” he told the New York Times. “I don’t feel this is a replacement for other musical experiences. I feel it’s an easy thing to add.”
