The recording studio and the landscape
 

Toop 131: "Brian Eno [has] talked about a relationship between the psychoacoustic space of the recording studio and the depiction or evocation of landscape"
 
see the liner notes to On Land (written 1982, revised 1986)
 
Eno refers to being in Ghana, trying to record "the widest possible catchment of ambient sounds from all directions"
 
they "became music" when he was able to "cluster all the disparate sounds in one aural frame"
 
143: Eno's music becomes "filled with sonic landscapes, evocations of meteorology, natural forms and their transitional states"
