Tea Time at Brian Eno’s House (MP3)
Here is the very first true “mixup” I did last year. Tea Time at Brian Eno’s House is based on an idea of being invited to tea at Brian Eno’s house and what one might hear from his in-house sound installation. I tried to approach the mix in an “Eno-esque” fashion, building track upon track. The foundation of the mix is made up of long-form Eno cuts (Neroli, Thursday Afternoon, etc.) that play at very low levels throughout the mix. On top of that are Quiet American field recordings that fade in and out. On top of that are various Eno and other artist tracks mixed end to end and sometimes together. So, at any point in the mix, there are 2-5 things playing at the same time. The Eno speaking parts are from a long interview with him. I cut pieces at random from the track. I then assembled those pieces together at random throughout the mix. So, you get Eno speaking in “nonsense words” that make sense in a wierd way. - Source Site:http://hydrogencafe.blogspot.com/
