I chatted with Peter Chilvers about how (and why) he and Brian Eno created generative art and music app Reflection. www.tapsmart.com/features/cla...

Classics: endless meditative music and art with Brian Eno : Reflection

The latest entry in our classic iPhone and iPad app series felt like having a tiny Brian Eno living inside your device.

These death masks of Isaac Newton, Oliver Cromwell and John Keats are doing my head in a little. It’s not like seeing a photo or a painting, there’s a real sense a physical person. They were hiding on a bottom shelf in the wonderfully eccentric Wisbech and Fenland Museum. Well worth a visit.

Delighted to be interviewed by and performing with pedal steel guitarist Joe Harvey-Whyte for his ambient show The Dream Stream on Soho Radio tonight at 10pm UK Time. Joe’s an incredible player, it was a joy. The show will be available online shortly afterwards, I’ll post a link. #ambient

This remix of Glacial Lake by @foveahex.bsky.social was released 10 years ago. I’ve only done a handful of remixes, but think this is my favourite. A profoundly moving song by a deeply original band. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d7T...

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Review | Peter Chilvers - Dust 4 by @zmnathanson.bsky.social "You know that this will be a mournful time of looking at the destruction and the abandoned buildings will make you go inside and think of a place that once was, has now been stuck in the past." echoesanddust.com/2025/08/pete...

Thrilled to have finally released Dust 4, my first full album on Curious Music. It was written in tandem with a beautiful 60 minute video by Dion Johnson, whose stunning drone footage perfectly captures the landscapes that inspired it. youtu.be/fBqbGQOPi58?...

Curious Music wanted to make an atmospheric music video, a live performance, and an interview explaining how a track was made. So filmmaker Dion Johnson and I set about doing all three simultaneously: youtu.be/BhntdvhURVk?...

I had one of the weirder moments in a weird life last night when I realised that the Black Mirror episode Playthings was inspired by Creatures, a game I worked on in the 90s. Charlie Brooker reviewed it at the time, and apparently it stuck in his head.

I was searching for a word to meaning “having as few rules as possible” and realised how literal “unruly” is. Never struck me before. Isn’t language marvellous?

This collaboration between Nils Frahm and Robert de Niro is currently playing on 6 Music. A 15 minute mixture of grainy folk orchestra and spoken word. Absolutely stunning.

Instead of Bandcamp Friday today, BC's% is going to WILDFIRE RELIEF, 👏. Meanwhile, our own % of Fovea Hex sales today will be going to GAZA via @unicefireland.bsky.social. From €5, collaborators/guests include Eno, Matmos, Abul Mogard, Peter Chilvers & more... bit.ly/3WT3tDX

A glorious glimpse of the Britain I was born into. A beautiful insight into the era that produced Monty Python. youtu.be/p8fOJdmSbdU?...

I didn't realise Brian Eno had worked with Marianne Faithfull, contributing synthesiser, effects and arrangement to this bleakly beautiful track from her album with @warrenellis.bsky.social RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjo...

@bob-boilen.bsky.social Nice to (kind of) meet you this evening. Thanks for being the first to play Bloom all those years ago!

I’ve just had it confirmed that I correctly remembered a joke by @boothbygraffoe.bsky.social despite only seeing him perform live once, thirty years ago. If that’s not a good recommendation I don’t know what is…

Currently enjoying Abul Mogard’s remix of @foveahex.bsky.social’s We Dream All the Dark Away: foveahex.bandcamp.com/track/we-dre... It’s a gorgeous track to lose yourself in for 20+ minutes.

Today’s adventure in crisp land: KFC flavoured crisps from Germany. Like regular Walkers chicken crisps with a sachet of black pepper per crisp. Oddly compelling.

Apparently I’m playing live on Sky Arts at the moment, surround by lots of people with the “Eno” surname.
