Fantastic stuff! Thanks for posting this. Looks like this may be the Year of Eno. (Much better than last year’s man of the year, a cheap plastic mirror… erm … if you saw Time Magazine.)

Thanks for the feedback.
Doesn’t Eno seem like a perfect fit for creating music for a virtual world?
This suggests that we may soon have video games where the goal is to explore gorgeous, quirky or mysterious generative worlds where everything from the landscapes to the characters to the soundtrack is created on the fly.
I keep being fascinated by Eno’s music and his intellectual approach.
His concepts are always a wonderful inspiration.
