Legendary composer, musician, visual artist, and producer Brian Eno has announced the release of a new box set titled Music For Installations, featuring “new, rare, and previously unreleased tracks.”
The compilation is set to be released this May, with a variety of options including a standard 6CD set, a 6CD super deluxe limited edition numbered set, and as a 9LP super deluxe edition vinyl set, which comes with a 64-page book featuring “rare and unseen exhibition photographs and a new essay written by Eno.”
Here’s some good news for you Eno fans out there; the always innovative artist is releasing a new box set full of rare and unreleased material.
As its title would suggest, the box set will include items of music that have been debuted at various installations around the world throughout Eno’s career. The huge collection of material will feature music recorded from 1986 to the present day.
“If you think of music as a moving, changing form, and painting as a still form, what I’m trying to do is make very still music and paintings that move,” Eno says.
“I’m trying to find in both of those forms, the space in between the traditional concept of music and the traditional concept of painting.”
The packaging of the new set has been designed by long time collaborator of Eno, Nick Robertson.
