My god, Eno is amazing. And he's completely right about American media and television.
Such a large forehead to store all of that genius.
Billy Robins Brian Eno = One Brain
...did he just very accurately predict, in an offhand comment, the rise and maturation of the music video as art form? dude is genius.
One of the most amazing and incredibly prolific artists of our time. Years from now, people will regard him as we do Mozart and Beethoven.
I was 19 yrs. old in 1980. There were 3 networks at the time. No MTV or Cable. VCR's were expensive and rare. Vinyl was still king, No CD (remember laser discs?). Punk was considered new and faddish in the US and you could get seriously harassed and beat up if you looked different, wore 'weird' clothes and hair, etc. I could go...
Eno was an articulate theoretical and musical 'voice in the wilderness'. A breath of fresh air. Thanks for the post and the memories.
Great to hear a genius artist talk
+Montgomery Denzer GENIUS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.Also THE MORE YOU KISS UP TO ENO THE MORE HE'LL TREAT YOU LIKE CRAP.You've obviously never met him.
Yes it is in the eye of the beholder and no I never met the man. But I still love his work and nothing will change that
This is super great, thank you for uploading it.
Really wonderful to see Eno in action before he fully adopted the "Professor" persona. His interview style these days is much more measured, but it's kind of great to watch him in this clip dropping awesome science as usual but also being a little looser than we're used to seeing him.
its amazing how apt his evaluation of news in the US is, seems like little has changed
I love how this interview is taking place in such a wonderfully seedy motel room.
not a bad hotel ...in Berkeley near the campus
Thank you for this interesting interview.
I was watching a interview with Dido and Brian Eno's name came up,and I never heard of him before.I dig his music.This interview really opened my eyes to the trash we have on tv here in the US.The fire hose analogy is SO true.Very well said and very insightful.Music today is way over produced.What you hear on a cd,and what you hear live,are completely different.There are only a few artists that sound as good on CD,or tape as they do live.
If you're into old school hip-hop and a fan of golden era hip-hop production, you should know who this is!!! Once In a Lifetime is one of the greatest beats/breaks in hip-hop history!!!
Denise thanks for getting this video out that I conducted and produced for Video West
Are you the person in the video?
@@cabrillodm3639 yep at about 1:57 into the reel ...
Get everyone you know to stop listening to the mainstream media, we all have a duty here, spread information about independent stations and so forth!
he never fails to impress me!
Fantastic, his comments on the media and in particular Iran are sadly as prescient today as they were then.
The lecture was shot up at UCSC in 1976, I believe. It was shot with a school B&W camera, and colored with my video synth. The Video West interview was shot a bit later, probably around 1980, and I edited this for Video West, which was a show on KQED at that time.
this is amazingly true. thanx for this!
very cool clip, thanks for sharing it!
What Brian Eno said just made me had a major epiphany. Slapped me right in the face.
Thanks for posting this!
GENIUS
Many words of wisdom from Brian's. Makes you chill indeed, what he has to say about Iran coverage (!), frantic media, American tube. To this day (and got worse, obviously).
that is what it is. one of my favorites of brians vocal albums
Sheesh, hes speaking about his mediums so calm and intelligently.
I wish more people would think like Brian Eno does.
I see mostly droids in my life connected to their phone's or tv's not wondering how and why, only getting what they are given. :(
Brian Eno ok boomer
@@ryanebaugh doesn't seem like something a boomer would say tbh
@@Vingul ur regarded
@@ryanebaugh thank you, not many total strangers regard me very highly.
An utter visionary.
his head is full of wisdom
My favourite kind of unintentional ASMR.
I wish someone would publish a superb documentary made on him years ago and called "The Black box of culture"
Brian Eno is an anagram for One Brain. He knows this and acts accordingly. "Idiot Glee" is part and parcel of his repertoire. I myself have just participated in Idiom Glee, which I suspect Brian is aware of but hasn't yet touched upon due to his steatopygia fetish. Long live Brian.
He is such a genius...
One of the few minimalist geniuses
Lo amo, lo amo, lo amo
Just a complete hero of mine and a guest at my ideal table with Kate Bush and Franz Kafka (for light relief).
@marzuki1 he predicted the use of a video disc in a similar manner to an LP - with the ability to mix, chop, etc. The ability to remix video in dance clubs in the same way that people were just starting to play with turntables.
"psychedelic Hoo Ha" Love it!
he is still out there doing his stuff, you may not have noticed so he the best type of muso, honest. Like frank zappa and some others, its about the music, free speech, giving some one a fair go, truethful government, not fame and wealth but eaqulity for anybody who wants to have a go and not be told you cant sing or say that. Frank Zappa said to usa senete inquirey ITS JUST WORD
Lecture. Hahaha-haaa. That's rich. You want a lecture, put Eno and Robert Fripp into a room and just have them talk about what they did that day.
I interviewed Robert Fripp around 1978 in Monterey. Someday I will get that up here too.
@@cabrillodm3639 please do.
genius
@deliversthefacial it's from 'st elmo's fire' a track on 'another green world'. robert fripp on guitar, definitely awesome.
ENO. nuff said.
Genius
I love Brian Eno. He is a very creative person. Btw, doesn't he look a bit here like Jame Gumb, the Buffalo Bill killer from Silence of the lambs?
yes.
Ted Levine for the Eono biopic, then.
@JuanOmegaIota Please elaborate!
@MaxAMarcus ; je suis tout a fait d'accord avec vous !! sur l'écoute d'un seul genre de musique :D !! très vrai ....
@KatLembo I'm a metalhead and I love his music. Stereotypical statement is stereotypical.
amen
@GreatDarkWing0491 I agree. And that's why I don't watch television, unless it's a good documentary. It's even worse today, and he was saying that in the 80s.
@mysteriousnyc Absolutely. Pravda and Isvestia were paragons of quality non-biases reporting in their day. Only the Korean Central News Agency of the DPRK can uphold such high non-capitalist standards of quality these days.
his head is 2cute
MOVE OVER TODD RUNGREN ENO's in town
as an intellectual i choose not to answer that. lol
banana slugs!...are delicious with a little butter and capers sauteed just so.
Can someone tell me the song played at the very beginning of the video which is also played 1:00 in?
From My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. "America is Waiting."
A very lucid man
to fit his brain into?a modern Leonardo,a Renaissance man!
When was this Eno footage shot? '77 or '81 (?)
The lecture was shot up at UCSC in 1976, I believe. It was shot with a school B&W camera, and colored with my video synth. The Video West interview was shot a bit later, and I edited this for Video West, which was a show on KQED at that time.
What is that track at 3'52?
Really great upload.
"Mea Culpa", from "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts".
@video 4 archive where did you happen to get this tape?
My wife, Denise Gallant, edited this from two sources; A Brian Eno lecture at UC Santa Cruz that she filmed in 1977. The other was from an interview from a station in San Francisco.
prescient eno...i have his 2 box sets that came out in the early-mid 90s. any takers(?)--40 bucks for both...mint. i also have his vinyl collection "driving me backwards" never opened. selling it for 17 bucks.
i also use his feo2 for a pasta-like side dish.
"idiot glee" indeed.
8 metallheads vote
If only he knew how much worse American TV would get, now it's all hysterical bullshit.
He probably knew ...it's truly scary.....and not only in the US.....Even the BBC went on a slow downward slide ....pandering to the lowest common denominator....
At least we have RUclips so we can still watch interesting things....
I know Eno and U2 worked on Zoo TV together.
That's one of the very best shows ever put on.
@Guitarist Joe > "metallhead is a person that listen only to metal and anything else...simply...so you are not a metallhead but a listener of music
the irony is brian eno doesnt actually like talking too much about anything, and just likes to get on with it...
king of the boffins!
Negative aspects of television and radio are not a direct attribute of government, they are the result of capitalism.
Song at 3:54 ?
firehose mentality
What's the song at the beginning
Brian Eno-St Elmo's Fire ;D
@PAULOcbi are you suggesting you have to be intelligent to score highly on exams?
based
to shetookalongcoldlook :
If you dont care why you still want to influence others then? why you dont just be quiet?
why yuo dont speak for yourself to yourself ?
so then you are free to choose and then we are free too, exactly
st. elmo's fire, I think. or else something else from "another green world"
get on with it then
Hahaha WOW
what is the song at 1:15?
I don't remember, but it was something he was playing live and talking about.
Intellectuals r so kewl. R u an intellectual?
coldplay is working with him now
if one thing, Eno most certainly doesn't want to be Vangelis. Why should he? Can't see much resemblance in the work of Vangelis (I like some of his work) and Eno. Where is for example the funk in Vangelis' music?
The better music they make, the worse their political intellect.
Ha ha ha ha!
While what he says about American TV/news is true, what I've seen of British tv/news is so slow and a bit dull by comparison.
huh? if u got something to say don't just spout insults, explain your position, like intellectuals do.
@MaxAMarcus generalizations? Go tell that to the thousands of metalheads that the last months vomit on Lulu saying and writing even in magazines (paper or web) disgusting things about Lou Reed and stupid comments about Metallica. I m listening to metal too, Armorred Saint, UFO, Dimmu Borgir etc...u name it. As I told below to Guitarist Joe by saying the word "metalhead" I m reffering to the idiots that listen only one kind of music and post everything else as gay and simular nonsense.
