Eno has a history of seminal collaborations ­ with the original Roxy Music, then with David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2 and many others. Always an innovator, his past work has been cited as influential by musicians as diverse as Radiohead and Public Enemy.

On DRAWN FROM LIFE, he has taken a characteristically surprising tangent in the company of the brilliant young German omposer/producer and drummer J Peter Schwalm. Eno was introduced to Schwalm and his musical world through his SLOP SHOP 'Makrodelia¹ record and live project in 1998.

The musical partnership of Eno and Schwalm came to the world¹s attention for the first time with their debut record, MUSIC FOR ONMYO-JI, a very special Japan-only release inspired by the work of Reiko Okano, " [a] bizarre and rather beautiful project - strangely modern and vital"(David Elliott, The Wire).

Schwalm¹s unusual background of conservatory training and jazz influence brings a warmth and rhythm, which makes DRAWN FROM LIFE and their live performance both futuristic and human. At this unmissable event, the live DRAWN FROM LIFE project takes this collaboration even further with the performance of some new songs, written by Brian Eno for a future album.

You can also pick up most of Brian Eno's older catalog on Astralwerks' Associated labels Caroline/EG/Gyroscope Records.
