I tried to get in touch with Eno once. And I had a good shot at it. I knew someone who knew him personally and agreed to forward a message I had for him. It was regarding nontrivial software I had developed which incredibly and unexpectedly he had more or less invented 20 years ago in a conversational email message. Thought he'd like to know it had come to fruition.

Knowing his reclusion I wasn't expecting to get a response. Which was good, since I didn't receive one.



What was the software if you don't mind my asking.



Hey cool to bump into an evomusart fan here! (Of course it makes sense given the topic.) I see James McDermott in your acknowledgements. He might not remember me, but we hung out at evomusart in 2007 brainstorming ideas on artificial evolution of music.


Send me mail (my hn username is my real name, google it) and let's chat.
