ROGER ENO: RURAL ENGLISH AMBIENCE In a quaint countryside village northeast of London, composer
Roger Eno concocts a music full of English quirkiness, playful
whimsy and subtle joy. In his attic studio called the Clerestory,
Roger Eno talks about music for neglected English composers who
don't exist, 20th century German composers who did exist, and
a musical aesthetic that embraces trumpets and harmoniums, Renaissance
music and barroom songs.
