“No one else does this with such a lightness of touch yet such a definitive sense of purpose – a double victory”: Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe’s Luminal and Lateral

Beatie Wolfe and Brian Eno – Luminal and Lateral.

As a producer, electronics pioneer, multimedia artist and self-confessed non-musician – and that’s just the tip of an iceberg that could sink a fleet of Titanics – Brian Eno has a reputation as a singular figure in the cultural firmament that was cemented a long time ago. But his ongoing commitment to the creation of new works is also deserving of applause.

And so it proves once again with the simultaneous release of these two albums, Luminal and Lateral, made in collaboration with Anglo-American conceptual artist and composer Beatie Wolfe after they met through their shared environmental work at the South By Southwest festival.
