Eno, what does he know,
Paul Simon did the same, he worked w/ African music, of course we can only
laugh at that. I lived there for three years, and I don't purport to know
anything about it. I think Paul Bowles had the healthiest of attitudes
regarding living in a foreign land, in his case it was North Africa;
Uncertainty and a cultivated but respectful distance and appreciation
regarding their culture. Besides, if Eno were the prime minister of
Zimbabwe, I still wouldn't take a statement like 'there isn't enough
'Africa' in computer music making' the least bit seriously. It is a
ridiculous thing to say, and I'm sure the Prime minister of Zimbabwe would
find it just as ludicrous. I wonder how many African csound enthusiasts
would appreciate ENO's little piece of naivety. And as for Eno's
speculation concerning muscle action and so forth, I think it would best be
broadcast over airport loudspeakers, or at the mall.
Piece,
Christophe
