The groundbreaking work of a legend of experimental music, Brian Eno has been for decades a powerful vehicle of imagination and ambiance, able to enchant the senses beyond the confines of reason and emotion. His recent 25th-solo-album-cum-multi-channel-three-dimensional-sound-installation, “The Ship” (2016) has been described by its author as a sort of "musical novel" – a loose story collage inspired by the Titanic sinking, World War I and random throwaway lines from emails and Eno’s own (failed) writing, all-in-all remastered by an algorithmic text generator. Its 21-minute title track has been compared by a critic to “a theatre of the mind”, composed of sonar blips, harbor bells and human voices weaving in and out of a luminous soundscape that evokes an orchestra.
