"Kite Stories: Installation by Brian Eno"
1999-12-11 until 2000-02-06

I think of shows like this as 'music in more dimensions' or perhaps 'music for more senses'. The music in this installation was made in my studios in London, by a process more similar to painting or collage than conventional music composition. One element in it is nearly 20 years old; most of it was made last week. The music is divided into 8 independent layers, one of which is playing on each CD player. Since these players are not synchronized, the music constantly recombines into different patterns.

The text is taken from the Japanese story Onmyo - Ji by Reiko Otano and was read by Kyoko Inatome. I time-stretched her readings using Sound-Designer software, and then re-pitched the stretched voice using Digitech Studio Vocalist.
