Brian Eno was invited to deliver the annual John Peel Lecture earlier this year, an hour long speech aimed at highlighting cultural issues.
Previous incumbents have included Iggy Pop, with Brian Eno choosing to discuss the 'ecology of culture'.
The full lecture was broadcast only a few hours ago, and is ready to be absorbed via the 6Music website. Set an hour aside and tune in HERE.
Here's the BBC's description:
Brian Eno will seek to demonstrate how the whole complex of individuals and institutions engaged in culture – artists, broadcasters, gallerists, promoters, DJs, managers, lawyers, fans – are symbiotically connected parts of a single huge organism which we call Culture. He will outline some of his thinking on this very unpredictable ecology and explore the interconnective relationships between the elements and components that combine to create our culture, and show how cultural processes confer essential and important benefits on society. Ahead of the lecture Brian Eno visited Peel Acres, and discussed his own memories of the broadcaster.
