Ed Cumming “Brian Eno: ‘I don’t get much of a thrill out of spending money’“ http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/26/brian-eno-i-dont-get-much-of-a-thrill-out-of-spending-money


ブライアン・イーノ*1へのインタヴュー。幾つか切り取っておく。
労働党の新しい党首Jeremy Corbynを巡って;


Jeremy Corbyn is the most interesting thing on the British horizon. It’s like Octavio Paz said: communism may have been the wrong answer, but it wasn’t the wrong question. I like that Corbyn is asking questions that have been out of the discourse since the late 70s: what do we do about gross, and growing, inequality?
セックスとドラッグとロックンロールと宗教を繋ぐ鍵言葉はsurrender*2である;

Sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, dancing: all the things we like doing are about surrender. Religion is the formalised social version of that. I love gospel music for that reason, but I’ve never liked the idea of adherence to a “book” or the idea that there is “truth”.
1980年に他界したアーティスト、ピーター・シュミット*3について;

The artist Peter Schmidt was the person I addressed all my thoughts to, my mental frame of reference. In 1980 he died of a heart attack. He was 49, I was 30. He was out walking in the sun in the Canary Islands and miscalculated. That was a big moment. I realised I had to explain things to people who I couldn’t assume understood what I was thinking.
ピーター・シュミットとイーノはOblique Strategiesを共作しているのだった*4。また、イーノのアルバム、『科学前後(Before and After Science)』でもシュミットの絵が使用されている。
