According to the Independent, the producer-composer&#8217;s latest project is two ambient soundtrack and light installations designed to soothe patients in hospitals.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>The works will make their debut at the new Montefiore Hospital in Hove, England. &#8220;77 Million Paintings for Montefiore\u201d is a sound-and-light installation in the hospital&#8217;s reception area, while &#8220;The Quiet Room for Montefiore&#8221;\u00a0 is a custom separate space for patients, staff and guests to escape the sonic and emotional tumult of life in a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;generative music&#8221; work in the reception area is in line with Eno&#8217;s famous site-specific &#8220;Music for Airports&#8221; project (an evolving composition designed to soothe weary travelers). He reportedly began work on the project after a local surgeon told Eno that his wife had been greatly calmed by his airport installations and that he thought the conceit could work in a hospital. <\/p>\n<p>An Eno spokesman told the Independent that the project &#8212; inspired by the English nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale &#8212; is already a hit with patients and that several other hospital architects have inquired about similar collaborations in their own projects.<\/p>\n<p>Music fans, however, might have to really stub their toe before they get to listen to it. Eno&#8217;s spokesman told the paper,\u00a0 &#8220;It\u2019s true to say that \u2018The Quiet Room for Montefiore\u2019 is an album that can only be heard in the Montefiore Hospital.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Source: The Los Angeles Times<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Eno fans might have to suffer a bit before they get to hear his&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2919\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
