have been on a Brian Eno bender lately...
So you may have heard of these cards that Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt did in the seventies or you may not-
there will now be a short re-telling of the story anyway...
They created a deck of cards in the seventies for helping out in artistic work and the card have short somewhat cryptic messages printed on them to break out of preconceived notions or just plain old habits, by following the "instructions" printed.
Brian Eno used these extensively during recording sessions-
so some of the biggest music productions since then have been influenced by these cards- Productions with - David Bowie, Radiohead, U2, Talking Heads, Brian Eno's solo albums-
and many more.
Well found out that they exist as applications on the Playstore,
got excited and wanted to share with you,
the one that is installed on my devices is free,
no ads and both in Spanish and English with a clean interface.

Also to take the opportunity to share this short interview with Brian Eno himself
which is really interesting.
If you like it there is at least two longer documentaries on You tube...
