Free Music Review: Another way of being Eno
Hit: 5 Stars
One had never considered the bell, cast in metal, hung from a church tower, as a musical instrument at all. It was something more in the nature of a warning device, a chronogram, a delivery valve for sonic information. When carillons--massed bells--played Carols or Hymns or Alma Maters from a belltower, there was an element of novelty, as with musical saws or wineglass harmoniums, that seemed to preclude the idea of serious composition, let alone by a composer versed like Brian Eno in algebra and fire. But this record, a series of studies for possible bell-tones and carillons to accompany the slow ticking of the Clock of the Long Now through to the year 12006--music for the Future, that is--creates a sound structure that feels paradoxically old-fashioned, nostalgic, even ancient. There is a lot of urban space in it, old urban space in which you can't help inferring the presence of ox carts in the road, swifts diving above the bell tower, costers' shouts in the marketplace. And yet many of the bells you hear are entirely new creations, distortions, amalgamations that no bellsmith before Eno has ever cast, let alone considered. This music give a sense of the history of bells as something that runs far off in many directions, to past and future, to Europe and Asia, to real and imaginary. You feel, listening, that it is a lazy morning in a great city on some planet that is the local hub, the crossroads of a dozen strange races and cultures. You are lying in bed, listening to bells old and new, thinking about the churches, cults and temples scattered all across the city. It's a Sunday. You feel hopeful. Through amalgamation, through invention, through the preservation and repurposing of old casts and broken bells--through this bellmaker's craft--you hear, as no other instrument can quite get it across, the undertone of hopefulness, those optimistic words of a metal mouth, that are the special information of a bell.
