Luminal
Beatie Wolfe is a pioneering artist and innovator known for bridging the physical and digital through music, science, and design. Named one of WIRED’s “22 People Changing the World,” her recent work spans everything from NASA visualizations to the world’s first bioplastic record.
Eno and Wolfe first met through their environmental work when they gave a SXSW featured talk on ‘Art and Climate’. The talk was recently selected as one of the festival’s best in 25 years. The pair then met again when they were each showing their visual and conceptual art pieces at separate galleries in London. Their musical collaboration grew out of those meetings.
United by their mutual commitment to art & the environment, the pair team up for Luminal and Lateral. Recorded in London and centered around the concept of “art, and feelings,” both albums feature original music and cover an array of genres/styles: Luminal being a vocal alternative album, and Lateral comprising of a continuous ambient work.
“In Play On the piece took us somewhere unusual, a place where some quite incompatible feelings became restless bedfellows - there’s anger and ecstasy, some kind of desperation mixed with some kind of force - and some kind of joy. Is there a word for that mixed feeling? Even if there isn’t, there’s now a piece of music for it.” says Eno.
“Eno has rarely sounded so luminous and wistful, evoking alongside Wolfe a desert sunset that makes you excited to be alive but sad to have only so long left” - MOJO
"I had given up on modern times to produce a graceful song (like this) with a lovely feel to it, that makes sense... that carries you along." - Iggy Pop on” Suddenly”
"It's as if two people found themselves in the same dream and were able to make beautiful music together, then emerge from the dream with the music intact....absolutely astonishing music." - Henry Rollins, KCRW
