A good friend was kind enough to offer his thoughts about what sets an archive apart from other collections, and his remark was too good not to share. He said - Quote:

Just a quick peek-in to share something I'm really enjoying this morning - here's a 2017 interview piece with Brian Eno exploring his powerful generative music application, Reflection. Over a half an hour Eno demonstrates how incorporating a few rules for randomness can create an incredibly human touch to simple drum loops and ambient tonalities.
Here's the full interview, and I'll link some highlight snippets below for those without a half hour to spare. And for highlights... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tURRSJ-q4bg |
I've watched the drumloop video a few weeks ago and I was extremely disappointed. One plays around with this kind of stuff in the second week of working with a program for creating electronic music. I really had expected more from Eno than something that basic.

And that fundamental process is extremely basic and uninventive. This is drum programming 101.

I just expected more from Eno, I guess.

This very week for my birthday in 2008 I had the most incredible thrift store haul of my life. I walked into a Volunteers of America and they had just set out these 17 original blues classics all in great shape including Howlin Wolf, Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Albert King, The Super Blues Band, Hound Dog Taylor, and Freddie King.
It was an incredible birthday surprise, and hauls like this never happen at thrift stores anymore. I'm giving them another loving spin tonight to celebrate. https://i.imgur.com/GEaDkbNl.jpg |
