- Brian Eno, a renowned musician, music producer and visual artist, mentioned
- being profoundly inspired by Alexander's writing. I took it that he was
- applying some of the ideas on architecture to his (Eno's) own work in
- other mediums - he was talking about this a bit on KPFA when he was in
- San Francisco for an exhibit of his light sculptures back in 1988. It's
- got me curious enough to maybe read some of Alexander, despite my general
- lack of interest in architecture... I'm was just wandering through, about
- to unsubscribe to this newsgroup when I saw the reference and it sparked
- my memory.
