During an interview with Apple Music in October last year, Eno revealed that his time mentoring Fred again.. has made him perceive music in a new way.
“When I first worked with Fred I could see he was brilliant,” Eno said. “It took me quite a while to think ‘Oh my gosh, this is really a new idea about how you can make music. So I learnt a lot from him.”
“What I noticed with Fred is that he would start something, and he wouldn’t turn it into a loop that’s going to run through the whole track.”
“He’d just have it running for a tiny little bit and then he’d put something else there! [His pieces] are very non-linear; he doesn’t clean everything off, so in every piece of recording, there’s a sort of context that comes with it as well. The sound has a history built into it.”
