Three Programs Presented Across the Winter

Discover the Three Programs

LUMINAL cover art

PROGRAM 1: LUMINAL
December 26, 2025—March 01, 2026

With their joint albums, music legend Brian Eno and conceptual artist Beatie Wolfe released two projects that are as independent as they are interconnected.


The alternative/vocal album LUMINAL features vocals and lyrics by Wolfe and was composed/produced by the duo. Both artists describe the music as “electric-country-dream-music,” which is unusual for both artists.


The album LATERAL on the other hand, is described as “ambient-landscape-dream-music” and “like the familiar, but better.” Eno himself is considered to have coined the term "ambient music" in the 1970s.









"The duo’s debut collaborative albums use ambient and dream pop to channel hard-to-articulate feelings, but the concept feels more nuanced than their blissfully vague music." —Vanessa Ague, Pitchfork

PROGRAM 2: LATERAL
December 26, 2025—March 01, 2026

With their joint albums, music legend Brian Eno and conceptual artist Beatie Wolfe released two projects that are as independent as they are interconnected.


The album LATERAL is described as “ambient-landscape-dream-music” and “like the familiar, but better.” Eno himself is considered to have coined the term "ambient music" in the 1970s.


LUMINAL however, the first alternative/vocal album, features vocals and lyrics by Wolfe and was composed/produced by the duo. Both describe the music as “electric-country-dream-music,” which is unusual for both artists.

PROGRAM 3: LIMINAL
March 04—April 05, 2026

Following the release of LUMINAL and LATERAL, artist-activists Brian Eno and Beatie Wolfe share their third collaborative record, LIMINAL.


LIMINAL stands at the point of convergence between Lateral and Luminal. If the ambient-inspired LATERAL is a kind of landscape painting, a sonic place, the alternative/vocal album LUMINAL is a dream-like awakening, a feeling space. LIMINAL, the newest addition, is a hybrid of the two, a strange new land with a human living and feeling its way through its mysterious spaces.
