Hey so I met Brian Eno last week end and I got him to sign my OP1, it being the most portable and signable of my synths. Quite Proud! I thought I would share.
I struggled with attaching images and getting them the right way around obvs.
That’s fantastic
That is ace!
Did he comment about his opinion / use of the device?
That is super cool!
I have always been a huge Eno fan: love his generosity as artist speaking in depth and with great intelligence about process and ideas.
I also think that in this photo you guys look like a gay couple that just conceived an OP-1!
I mean it in the most positive way.
epic! hope you showed him some of what it can do. I’m sure he’d love one!
wicked man! thnx 4 sharing!
That is such a wonderfully sweet photo of you both. I also wonder if he said anything about the OP-1. I would think he’d appreciate it at the least, as it is designed with deeply considered, self-imposed limitations, and I emember Eno speaklng before of his preference for limitations over unbounded power.
I would be shocked if Brian Eno didn’t have an OP-1. Weather he uses it or not know knows???
@carmobot Wow what a legendary signature… I’m jealous !!
Lots of Eno fans here which is great. Me too, obviously love the guy, especially the ambient work.
this show gets me every time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoLPtBvFcQw something other than eno’s ambient stuff! this is “roxy music” i wasnt alive when it was popular but it sure does rock! im glad i eventually found it.
@Piotr: I'm totally gay for Brian anyway! Would love if it was mutual!
(am so glad you didn’t take my comment the wrong way! just looks like love is in the air
(I was a bit awestruck too tbh!).
I was once in a elevator with Herbie Hancock and totally froze, couldn’t speak lol.
In 1999, I was asked if I could lend my amp to Franck Black, as he needed one.
I was once sitting at a table with Björk, who said she liked the sound in my work. For real! I also didn’t quite know what to say…
… speaking of “brushes with greatness”.
