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.
