Eno, outside of boosting Coldplay’s stardom by producing their last two records, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and Mylo Xyloto, has put a lot of work into this project, which dates to his 2003 album January 07003: Bell Sudies for the Clock of the Long Now.
The clock, which is one of the foundation’s many projects, will be an answer to what it’s founders see as the problem of immediate gratification. The idea is to get people thinking about the distant future rather than the immediate present, and, according to the project’s website, to answer the question “virologist Jonas Salk once asked, ‘Are we being good ancestors?'”
