Roger Eno was born in Suffolk and studied music theory at Colchester Institute. Following graduation he worked in many jobs, including as a music therapist for a local hospital in the early 1980s. In 1983 his brother Brian invited him and Daniel Lanois to co-produce the album Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, to accompany Al Reinert’s film For All Mankind. He released two albums on EG Records, Voices and Between Tides, reinforcing comparisons made with Satie and Debussy. But he has defied categorisation through solo forays into uncharted territory and collaborations with, among others, Peter Hammill (The Appointed Hour), Lol Hammond (Damage) and Remote partner, the Danish production duo Miro (the 2004 album Opening Doors); he has also made guest appearances on albums by Tim Bowness, No-Man, Laraaji and others. Never short of a musical style or two in which to work solo, he was also responsible for the folky Swimming, with a full set of accordions and harmonium, and the faux-classical album The Music of Neglected English Composers, which he claims failed to sell because listeners did not realise he was using various pseudonyms to credit his own compositions. He has also written music for several films, including Nine and a Half Weeks, Opera and Warm Summer Rain, as well as scoring a popular series of 1993 Guinness commercials. Other projects include a two-disc binaural recording, with two video sections, made late at night in Lincoln Cathedral, and a live performance in London of a piece that he transcribed from an ancient musical code found on a headstone in the Eastern Mediterranean. His latest releases include Fragile (Music) and its more recent companion disc Anatomy. He still lives in Suffolk where he records in his own studio, the Clerestory, in Bungay.
