January 07003: Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now

Album by Brian Eno

January 07003: Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now is an ambient and experimental set in which Brian Eno develops synthesised and computer-modelled bell tones as studies for the Long Now Foundation’s 10,000-year clock. It explores tuning systems, resonance and generative processes intended to inform the clock’s acoustic identity.
