Podcasts about Oblique Strategies

To spur my songwriting juices, I got this deck of "Oblique Strategies" cards, created by Brian Eno, designed to prompt creativity. Here are a few examples. INSIDE / OUTSIDE (Oblique Strategy: “THINK - Inside the work, outside the work”)Inside - outside: it's hard to reconcileInside is terrified, though outside may beguileIf I stay inside I just might hide from tribulations and the trialOf outside's obligations to display the latest style.Inside is a cozy place, my home made out of bricksOutside is an endless space, with hucksters full of tricksWho wait around each corner to deliver blows and kicksOr, subtler art to break your heart no medicine can fixINSIDE - IT'S WARMOUTSIDE MAY DO ME HARMOUTSIDE - IT'S COLDINSIDE I'M GROWING OLD.It might agoraphobia, this reluctance that I feelOr, maybe something nobler, some grace for me to healIt might be something sinister, a cage of the mind too realBut, whatever the urge I need to emerge a person who can feel.Inside - outside: sings out of harmonyA discordant strain of grief and painAn obvious forgeryTurn on the light, step into the nightAnd accept what's meant to beWherever you go, at least you'll knowWhat it feels like to be free.REVERSE (O.S.: Reverse)I'm stuck in reverse, and way round the bacKThe brakes are all worn and the axle is cracked,The steering is worthless, it's totally whackedI'm headed for trouble and everything's black (and everything's black)I'm up to my elbow in sulfurous muckAnd as far as all I know I'm dead out of luckBut, if it's not too late I'll sell you my truckLet fate steer the crate, and earn Satan a buckReverse ain't the worst           If you face it with graceIt's like running in placeOr, a pie in the face         Reverse is just relative                 A black hole in spaceIt ain't something you need to erase.      Perhaps I've been looking at my problem all wrongMaybe Reverse is the point of my songIt could be “ass backwards” will make me last longAnd, what doesn't kill me might build me up strong.FOOL'S GOLD(O.S.: what are you really thinking about just now? Incorporate.)HAVE A DESIRE TO CREATE, BUT NOT A SINGLE IDEAWOULDN'T IT BE REALLY GREAT TO PULL AN “AVE MARIA”?I'LL PRAY TO THE GOD OF ART TO ASSIST ME AND OPEN MY HEARTOR AT LEAST TO MAKE A STARTTOWARDS SOMETHING TRUTHFUL, SOMETHING BOLD, SOMETHING HONESTTHAT'S NOT FOOL'S GOLD.IT'S NOT MY FINEST HOURBUT I WON'T LET MYSELF BE SOURI STILL HAVE HOPE FOR SUCCESSAND THOUGH I SPEAK TO AUDIENCE OF ONEWE'RE STILL HAVING FUNSO FORWARD! AND DAMN ALL THE REST!I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN IF THERE'S NOTHING TO GAINBY YEARS OF WASTED TOILTHE UNIVERSE HAS MADE IT PLAINWHY BURN REGRETFUL OIL?I'LL PRAY TO THE GOD OF ART TO ASSIST ME AND OPEN MY HEARTOR AT LEAST TO MAKE A STARTTOWARDS SOMETHING TRUTHFUL, SOMETHING BOLD, SOMETHING HONESTTHAT'S NOT FOOL'S GOLD.

In 1975 saßen Brian Eno (genau, der) und Peter Schmidt, ein Multimediakünstler, beim Joint oder auf Pilzen oder was immer man in der Richtung so machte in den Siebzigern. Der Peter beschäftigte sich zu dieser Zeit mit alten Drucktechnologien, Brian fiel gerade nix ein. Peter hatte gerade ein Set von 55 Drucken erstellt, mit so kurzen ganz superkünstlerischen Sätzen, sehr deep und sehr teuer. Die inspirierten den Brian so sehr, dass er sich selbst ein Set baute von 110 zusammenhanglosen Worten und Sätzen auf spielkartengroßem Karton. Er nannte das Set “Oblique Strategies”, es passte in eine Hosentasche und er trug es überall mit hin, zum Beispiel in den Proberaum. Wenn ein Stück nicht in Gang kam oder langweilig wurde oder gar kein Anfang zu haben war, zog jedes Bandmitglied eine Karte und nahm den Spruch darauf, wörtlich oder übertragen, als Anlass, “irgendetwas” zu spielen. Der Rest fand sich. Das probieren wir doch mal aus, dachten wir uns. Man kann heute natürlich virtuell Karten vom Stapel ziehen. Die Regel ist, egal was aufpoppt, dieser Satz wird genommen und ein Text geschrieben. Für diese Kolumne ist es:simple subtraction - Einfache SubtraktionMein fasziniertes, aber unglückliches Verhältnis zur Mathematik, also der richtigen, dem Fachgebiet abseits vom simplen Zahlen addieren und subtrahieren, begann mit einer 4 im Halbjahreszeugnis der siebten Klasse. Ich war in den Augen meines Vaters somit schwer versetzungsgefährdet und erfuhr eine Ansprache, mit der er mir den Ernst der Lage verdeutlichen wollte, so mit den ewigen Worten eines jeden Vaters ever: “..bald weht der Wind aus einer anderen Richtung, solange Du deine Füße unter unserem Tisch steckst, so kannst Du mit Deinen Freunden auf dem Schulhof reden” - der ganze Sermon. Am Ende der Ansprache gab es noch einen kleinen Bestechungsversuch: wenn ich zum Schuljahresende die 4 in eine 3 verwandle, gäbe es irgendein Geldgeschenk/Materielles Ding. Viel kann es nicht gewesen sein, wir hatten ja gar nichts. Damals. Im Osten.Die Predigt wirkte jedenfalls, kind of, habe ich mich doch sowohl durch die 7. Klasse, als auch durch die Mathematikprüfung der ostdeutschen polytechnischen Oberschule nach der 10. gehangelt, keine Ahnung wie. Für ein Abitur reichte es dennoch nicht, so als Verfolgter des Regimes eigenen Leistungsanspruches. Ich war genötigt, mir die halbe Hochschulreife durch ein Kurzabitur zu erschleichen, wie es das kurz nach dem Mauerfall im Osten gab. Dieses Abi war einzig als Vorbereitung für technische Studiengänge gedacht, mit der strikten Vorgabe, dass damit keinerlei geisteswissenschaftliche Abschlüsse zu haben seien. Mein Traum des Germanistikstudiums, Endstadium Lehrer, ging damit glücklicherweise an allen Beteiligten vorbei.Also studierte ich Informatik. Künstlerisch nicht wirklich selbstbewusst, aber wage zugeneigt genug, um zu wissen, dass das irgendwie funktionieren könnte, und ohnehin, machen wir uns ehrlich, 1995, Techno/Drogen/Ecstasy, keine Rolle spielend, entschied ich mich für das Studium der Medien-Informatik - nicht dass irgendjemand gewusst hätte, was das sein soll (heute wie damals). Doch es tauchte ein klassisches Zonenproblem auf: die Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft in Dresden (nur die war mit dem Billigabitur erreichbar) hatte versprochen, diesen Studiengang anzubieten. Kurz vor Beginn des Studienjahres jedoch stellt man fest, dass man gar keine Professoren dafür habe. Was machte man? Man steckte uns, der Kunst zugeneigte Bohémes, für das erste Jahr in den Studiengang der, oh s**t, oh f**k, Wirtschaftsinformatik! Mit den ganzen Bankangestellten, Steuerberatern und sonstigen Christian Lindners also. Damit nicht genug, hielt man uns, ich kann mich noch exakt und so genau erinnern, wie an fast nichts aus dieser Zeit, einen Vortrag, zu Studienbeginn, in der Aula, in dem man uns erklärte, dass man gelernt hätte, dass in den USA jede Universität ein Spezialgebiet habe: MIT, Berkeley, Stanford und jetzt also Auge in Auge auch die HTW Dresden, Germäny. Man würde in den nächsten Jahren besonders Augenmerk auf die mathematische Ausbildung der Studenten legen (Studentinnen wurden damals, in den good old times, noch nicht erwähnt).Man hatte wohl eiligst zusätzliche Mathematikprofessuren eingestellt, offensichtlich auf Kosten der Medienfuzzis, aber so richtig Quali bekommt man da ja auch nicht sofort an den Start. Ich durchlebte also in der ersten Semesterwoche des ersten Semesters die erste Mathematikvorlesung meines Lebens: zwei Stunden lang schrieb uns ein middle aged Professor mit grauem Gesicht tatsächlich, ich weiß die Zahl noch heute, 104 Definitionen an die Tafel. Definitionen in winziger Schrift schrieb der böse Mann von links nach rechts trippelnd über die gesamten 25m Breite der Tafel, bevor er sie wieder abwischte und auf der anderen Seite von vorn begann, wobei er wohl erwartete, dass wir den ganzen Quatsch abschrieben. Nun, das wars dann endgültig mit meiner Faszination für die Mathematik.Bis ich auf dieses großartige Buch gestoßen bin:Jan Gullberg, ein schwedische Kinderarzt, dreimal so klug wie wir alle zusammen, hatte ungefähr die gleiche Faszination für die Mathematik und wahrscheinlich eine noch schlimmere entsprechende Bildung erfahren. Damit seinen Kindern und die, die er verarztete, das nicht passiere, schrieb er mal eben ein Buch über die ganze Mathematik, von der Geburt der Zahlen bis wasweißichwohin, Multidimenionalität und so, ich habe doch keine Ahnung! 1200 Seiten, 3 kg schwer, schrieb er das alles selbst, als Kinderarzt, illustriert es, selbst, und zusammen mit einem britischen Mathematiker, und, ein Wahnsinn, setzte es selbst, in LaTex! (Das Entsetzen über den letzten Fakt verstehen nur nerds). Der Mann muss verrückt gewesen sein, glücklicherweise.Manchmal, ich gebe zu immer seltener, man hat ja kaum noch Zeit Altes zu durchforsten, so viel Neues gibt es, setze ich mich in meinen Ohrensessel und lese ein paar Seiten. Natürlich verstehe ich nur die ersten 40, danach ist alles nur noch Ästhetik. Aber es macht mich glücklich, wie etwas nur glücklich macht, was man komplett ohne Leistungsanspruch tun kann: Biertrinken, Schokoladeessen, Bingewatching, Fantasyromane lesen und Mathematik bestaunen. Das ist Glück! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit lobundverriss.substack.com

Les déclencheurs d'écriture diffèrent des consignes en ce qu'ils n'imposent rien, mais proposent : photos, personnages, situations, ils invitent l'auteur·ice à se les approprier pour construire l'histoire de ses vœux sans contrainte. Quelle utilité peuvent-ils avoir au long cours ? Lionel s'en sert surtout en atelier pour lancer l'imaginaire des participant·es quand le temps de création est court, et il leur trouve une grande vertu, celle de former une habitude créative d'observation à long terme. Estelle va au-delà : ils apportent le bénéfice de former l'auteur·ice à interroger constamment le monde et à chercher ce qui résonne en soi. Mélanie note aussi que la collision d'éléments, apportée par les déclencheurs, est toujours féconde pour la création. Aucun de trois, cependant, ne s'en sert dorénavant au long cours dans son travail.

Musician and designer, John Lambert, aka Chequerboard recently turned to, among other things, Eno's Oblique Strategies cards, in search of new ways of working and making.

The “I”s have it! And Lightnin' Licks Radio has the “I”s. Ten of them to be exact. Jay and Deon discuss their favorite vinyl records filed under the letter I. It's intimate and intense. It's immersive and inspiring though, ironically, they're idiots. -- In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For nearly one half of a century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2024, idiotic, introverted award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential themes of their upcoming thirty-fifth episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably good solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works.

This was recorded in 1981, in my bedroom at my parents' house. The synth is an ARP Solus overdubbed two or three times on a broken cassette deck. I was obsessed with Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" (obviously) at the time. Equally obvious: the title of this track is taken from an Oblique Strategies card (Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's deck of "over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas").  Most of the other sounds are from an elementary school recess across the street from my house. You can also hear wind chimes from my patio. Unfortunately, also audible is the woman next door yelling at her child for 10 seconds or so. This was not planned. Other than the latter, I used to find the sounds of the kids playing across the street to be soothing. I was working long hours at a record store all day, then going to see live music at night, and was often sleep-deprived. I recall taking naps in the middle of the day, and falling asleep to the sounds of the school yard and the wind chimes, as well as light airplanes overhead (Long Beach Airport was just west of our home).  Recorded by Funharm.

After a routine medical procedure goes awry, sending his father Jim into a months-long health crisis, Hurst embarks on an esoteric ponderance on the nature of errors that includes the zen wisdom of composer John Cage, Brian Eno's “Oblique Strategies,” the roving spirituality of walking, the pleasures and terrors of misunderstood song lyrics, the tragic convergence of mechanical and human error at the center of the accident at Three Mile Island, and more!

In The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light, the cultural historian William Irwin Thompson predicted the rise of a new form of knowledge building, a direly needed alternative to the Wissenshaft of standard science and scholarship. He called it Wissenskunst, "the play of knowledge in a world of serious data processors." Wissenskunst is pretty much what JF and Phil have been aspiring to do on Weird Studies since 2018, but in this episode they are joined by a master of the craft, the computational sociologist and physicist Jacob G. Foster of UCLA. Jacob is the co-founder of the Diverse Intelligence Summer Institute (DISI (https://disi.org)), a gathering of scholars, scientists, and students that takes place each year at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It was there that this conversation was recorded. The topic was the Possible, that dream-blurred vanishing point where art, philosophy, and science converge as imaginative and creative practices.

From the 2022 New York Guitar Festival at The Greene Space, listen to cosmic inventions from guitarist and composer Vernon Reid together with Laraaji on zither and electronics.  Adept at metal, funk and jazz, Vernon Reid gained fame as the main songwriter for the rock band Living Colour, and as a founder of the Black Rock Coalition. Crashing this year's guitar festival to join Vernon is the innovative ambient zither player and electronic musician Laraaji, who was also part of Brian Eno's groundbreaking Ambient Music series back in 1981. Vernon Reid and Laraaji, together with an arsenal of electronics, in addition to their instruments, with occasional vocalizing, improvise a breathtaking longform set (perhaps taking inspiration from the Oblique Strategies card Ghost Echoes).  Watch their improvisations here:

[Originally published July 22,2021] Colin Joyce peers into the culture of prescriptive practice: using prompts to initiate direction for making art, made famous by Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.

Third verse – same as the first (and second). In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For nearly one half of a century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output.

From Roxy Music in the 70's, through to producing some of the most influential music of the rock era, Brian Eno stands high as an artist for the ages.  40 years later, his four art/pop solo albums stand as testaments to his innovative spirit, while he has gone on to help create some of the strongest work of giants such as Bowie, Fripp, Talking Heads, Ultravox, U2 and Coldplay.Mick and the Phatman talk about his early music, and how it still impacts on what we listen to today,References:  Roxy Music, David Bowie, Robert Fripp, Coldplay, U2, John Cale, Cluster, Ambient Music, Oblique Strategies and the Microsoft start-up sound.Eno PlaylistContact us If you enjoy this podcast, share it with a friend who loves music.

It's Brian Eno WEEK!! He's been sneaking around in many of the "I Already Told You That" episodes, but now is his time to shine in all his pop, glam, ambient glory! We take a journey through his first 4 solo records through his ambient series. We also get into how that sneaky ol Eno has influence so many others. As always check to the mix and links to other interesting Eno related stuff below.

Brian Colantuno (our old friend from Trackside) picked this record for Episode 4, and I'm so glad he did because it was inevitable that Eno had to be featured on an episode of Three on the Ones and Twos. Brian Eno is one of my favorites - he makes these fascinating and beautiful albums without any ego or pretentiousness. He is constantly collaborating with others (often using the Oblique Strategies that he introduced on this album) and everyoneplaying seem like they are having so much fun making these records. I also like how Brian Colantuno specifically picked this record “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)”. It's not the typical pick of “Here Come the Warm Jets”, “Another Green World”, or “Music for Airports” from his catalog, but a record that definitely has lots of great details and amazing songs to discuss. I hope you enjoy the episode, and thanks Brian Colantuno and Trackside for the selection!Listen to Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) by Brian Eno
