How exciting! Roger Eno and Brian Eno are soon to release an album – March sometime. It’s titled Mixing Colours (with a 'u' please note - hallelujah! 
) and the songs are all appropriately named. My brain is working overtime trying to figure out whether these 18 colours are from a specific palette? From a painting?? Or the other way around – all the hues one might use to create a landscape? They are the shades a watercolourist might have, or mix up, and I shall continue to speculate until all is revealed! If indeed anything IS to be revealed and I’m not just imagining things, which is quite likely! Lol!!
Anyway – I take it the pieces are intended to sonically describe the colour, its essence and associations which is a fabulous concept, IMHO. I like Roger Eno’s work but haven’t been smitten with anything Brian has done of late. They’ve worked together often on projects but never released a proper collaboration, as far as I know. From what I have read, it seems this came together organically, over a period of time. Looking greatly forward to hearing the whole lot.
“Celeste” – sky blue / heavenly blue / pale turquoise blue – that glorious clear, dazzling colour that makes you go all airy and expansive inside …
