Roger Eugene Eno
Born (1959-04-29) 29 April 1959 (age 65)
Woodbridge, Suffolk, England

Roger Eugene Eno (born 29 April 1959) is an English ambient music composer.[1] He is the brother of Brian Eno.

Early life and education

[edit]

Roger Eno began euphonium lessons when he was 12 years old, and entered Colchester Institute to study music when he was 16.[2] Upon graduating, and after a period of busking in London (where he briefly shared a house with artists Mark Wallinger and Andy Dog), Eno returned to Colchester to run a music therapy course at a local hospital for people with learning difficulties.[3]

Career

[edit]

In 1983, he had his first recording experience when he recorded the album Apollo with his brother Brian Eno and Canadian producer and musician Daniel Lanois at Lanois' Grant Avenue Studios in Hamilton, Ontario.[4] His first solo album, Voices, was released in 1985.[5]

Although mainly regarded as a pianist, Eno is a multi-instrumentalist and singer, as demonstrated on his later solo albums and collaborations. He has worked with several key artists apart from his brother including Bill Nelson, No-Man, Lol Hammond, Mads Arp, Peter Hammill, Gaudi, Tim Bowness and Michael Brook, the most successful of which was probably his co-written album The Familiar, with Kate St John.

Eno performs live on occasions and writes soundtracks. Much of his music has been used in films, including For All Mankind, Nine and a Half Weeks, Warm Summer Rain and The Jacket, while tracks have been used in advertisements, including for Nissan and for Japan Railways.[citation needed]

Eno has recorded solo albums for, and established an online shop via, the UK-based internet label Burning Shed.[6] In 2007, he contributed to the Mid/Air LP by Dive Index, a collaborative music project of composer/producer Will Thomas.

In 2013 Eno released the album, Endless City / Concrete Garden, under the name Roger Eno / Plumbline,[7] and a collection of Eno's work from 1988 to 1998, Little Things Left Behind.[8]

In 2015, Eno featured playing piano on two tracks ("A Boat Lies Waiting" and "Beauty") on David Gilmour's solo album, Rattle That Lock.[9]

On 10 November 2017, Eno released a solo album, This Floating World, on Recital Records.

On 23 June 2019, he performed at the Dark Mofo in Hobart, Tasmania.[10]

Roger performed for the first time with his brother Brian at the Acropolis on 4 August 2021.
