Brian Eno's new album with Beatie Wolfe is set to be broadcast into space
Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe's album is set to be broadcast into space using the legendary Holmdel Horn antenna.
Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe are marking the release of their new album Liminal by broadcasting the record into space.
The transmission will take place on October 15, using the legendary Holmdel Horn antenna - a site of profound scientific significance nestled in Crawford Hill, New Jersey, now home to the newly established Robert Wilson National Park.
The project is being realised with the help of Dr. Robert Wilson, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose groundbreaking work at the Holmdel Horn led to the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation - a key piece of evidence supporting the Big Bang Theory. Originally built by Bell Laboratories in 1959, the antenna famously captured the earliest echoes of our Universe’s birth.
Liminal is the third album in the pair's series, following Luminal and Lateral.
While Luminal was dubbed “Dream music” and Lateral “Space music,” Liminal takes a darker turn, with Eno and Wolfe calling it “Dark Matter music.”
Speaking about the cosmic broadcast, Eno shared: “This music, to us, feels like an exploration of new territories, imagining future worlds that we want to live in. And so it felt fitting to broadcast it into the unknown, into dark matter.
