Brian Eno Wants to Show You His Creative Process
The legendary artist will be teaching a new program through School of Song
The workshop "will cover a wide range of topics related to music making and is geared towards anyone interested in furthering their musical practice." A selection of workshop topics topics includes: The Role of Surrender, Avant Gardening, Creating a Compelling Sonic World, Oblique Strategies, and Should Music Still Be Called Music?
Of the program, Eno said, "I'm looking forward to the chance to properly articulate some ideas about the creative process that have been fermenting over the last 50 years. To be able to do this with some fresh young minds and imaginations was a chance that I couldn't refuse."
The workshop will include four lectures, taking place on Sundays — January 5, 12, 19 and 26 at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET). Each lecture is approximately 75 minutes, with the first class lasting two hours to include a live in-class writing exercise. The course will also include hour-long Q&As on Wednesdays — January 8, 15 and 22 at 12 p.m. PT (3 p.m. ET). The program will run you $160, and the deadline to sign up is January 4, 11:59 p.m. PT. Recorded lectures will be available and sent out afterward for anyone unable to attend at those times.
