# Infinite Wibble  ## Metadata - Author: [[Brian Eno]] - Full Title: Infinite Wibble - Category: #articles - Summary: insert summary - My notes: - Summary: Brian Eno is a lively innovator who can also be pompous and precious. He turned avant-garde ideas into ambient music, installations and generative art that went mainstream. Critics praise his early leaps but say later work can feel polished, hollow and self‑promoting. - URL: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n17/ian-penman/infinite-wibble?fbclid=IwY2xjawM7zmVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE5amtNSVlZTEg5dmV0WVBGAR5w790_-2PXbUSvumBEibYMsXU_kT8q5D9vlhbBBXbtO1bZvr80ByzAKRknJA_aem_o9CN0hnVVET074akrmgKuQ ## LLM Chats ## NotebookLM ## LLM Audio ## Highlights > Eno is a conundrum: impish disruptor and happy polymath, he can also be a bit of a tech prig lecturing us from on high, dropping serene apothegms that turn out on closer inspection to be vanishingly banal. It’s as if there are two of him: Brian has a great sense of humour, Eno can be suffocatingly precious; Brian picks a brilliant selection of *Desert Island Discs*, Eno nominates for his beach read Richard Rorty’s *Contingency, Irony and Solidarity*; Brian is all weird eros, Eno makes music that can be oddly clenched or wafty; Brian is inspiringly playful, Eno writes software to systematise (and cage, and kill) that playfulness.
