Brian Eno, Peter Chilvers - Reflection
Review by sukien achau
Reflection, the collaborative album by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, is a mesmerizing 54-minute soundscape that takes the listener on a journey through an ethereal, ambient world. The album is a continuation of Eno's exploration of generative music, which he first began experimenting with in the 1970s.
The album begins with a gentle, pulsating drone that slowly evolves over the course of the first few minutes. As the soundscape unfolds, layers of shimmering synths, delicate piano melodies, and distant chimes are woven into the mix, creating a rich tapestry of sound that ebbs and flows like the tides.
The album's title is a fitting one, as the music seems to reflect the listener's own inner world, evoking feelings of introspection, contemplation, and a sense of awe at the beauty of the natural world. The music is both calming and uplifting, creating a sense of peace and tranquility that is rare in today's fast-paced world.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Desert Dream," which features a haunting melody that is carried by a pulsing, rhythmic beat. The track builds slowly, with layers of sound gradually added to the mix, creating a sense of tension and release that is both thrilling and calming.

Notes
- A generative music app created for Apple's iOS (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch). Developed by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, 'Reflection' is available at iTunes App Store.
- The generative app version of 'Reflection' comes closer to Brian Eno's vision of how he believes the music should be heard, of indeterminate length and with unpredictable variations - rather than the excerpt(s) released on vinyl and CD.
- This generative music app differs from all the other apps that Brian and Peter had previously released - in that there are essentially no options, other than a Pause button. Once installed opening it simply starts the music and the pattern of subtlely changing colors (after the initial splash screen title fade). While playing, Tapping the screen brings up the Pause button under the title, simple credits, and copyright (all uppercase):

- Description
- REFLECTION is the most recent of my Ambient experiments and represents the most sophisticated of them so far. My original intention with Ambient music was to make endless music, music that would be there as long as you wanted it to be. I wanted also that this music would unfold differently all the time - ‘like sitting by a river’: it’s always the same river, but it’s always changing. But recordings - whether vinyl, cassette or CD - are limited in length, and replay identically each time you listen to them. So in the past I was limited to making the systems which make the music, but then recording 30 minutes or an hour and releasing that. REFLECTION in its album form - on vinyl or CD - is like this. But the app by which REFLECTION is produced is not restricted: it creates an endless and endlessly changing version of the piece of music.
