Wave Farm presents the groundbreaking, generative, Oscar shortlisted documentary, Eno, for the first time in a four-screen presentation with director Gary Hustwit rendering Screen One live. Performances by Fred Frith and Eucademix (Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto) will take place preceding the screenings as the sun sets.

Performances will take place on a rooftop stage on the Hi-Way’s concessions building, amplified on PA speakers as well as transmitted to audience members' car radios on each of the drive-in’s four FM frequencies (one per screen). The four screenings of Eno will be projected on the Hi-Way’s four large outdoor screens with each rendering’s soundtrack transmitted to the audience’s car radios on each screen’s dedicated FM frequency.

This extraordinary event will serve as a central fundraiser for Wave Farm’s WGXC: Radio for Open Ears, a creative community radio station serving New York’s Upper Hudson Valley on 90.7-FM and international listeners at wavefarm.org/listen.

Brian Eno - musician, producer, visual artist and activist first came to international prominence in the early seventies as a founding member of British band, Roxy Music, followed by a series of solo albums and collaborations. His work as producer includes albums with Talking Heads, Devo, U2, Laurie Anderson, James, Jane Siberry and Coldplay, while his long list of collaborations include recordings with David Bowie, Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, David Byrne, Grace Jones, his brother, Roger, on Mixing Colours and recently with Fred Again. In January 2024, Eno, a generative film about his life premiered worldwide to critical acclaim. His most recent music project is a collaboration with musician and artist Beatie Wolfe, and their first two albums, Luminal and Lateral, will be released on June 6th, 2025.

Eno’s visual experiments with light and video continue to parallel his musical career, with exhibitions and installations all over the globe. He has exhibited extensively, as far afield as St. Petersburg’s Marble Palace, Ritan Park in Beijing, Arcos de Lapa in Rio de Janeiro and the sails of the Sydney Opera House. He is involved in multiple activist work, such as the climate charity Earth Percent and HardArt, both of which he co-founded, as well as the Stop The War coalition. He is a founding member of the Long Now Foundation, a trustee of Client Earth and patron of Videre est Credere. In 2023, Brian was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement by the Venice Biennale Musica.

"Thrillingly inventive... a groundbreaking portrait that tears up the rules of cinema and reinvents itself with each new screening." -The Guardian

“Revolutionary” -Screen Daily

“A template for how cinema can be re-defined in the digital age” -The Quietus "One of the 10 Best Films of 2024" -New York Times

"A film like this gives us an opportunity to think about what cinema actually is, and where new technology fits into the process of how we make movies." -BBC News

Rich with access to hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage and unreleased music, Gary Hustwit’s documentary Eno employs groundbreaking technology to accomplish something that’s never been done before: a feature film that’s never the same twice. Hustwit and digital artist Brendan Dawes have developed bespoke non-AI generative software designed to sequence scenes and create transitions out of Hustwit’s original interviews with Eno, and Eno’s rich archive of hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage, and unreleased music.

Each screening of Eno is unique, presenting different scenes, order, music, and meant to be experienced live. The infinitely iterative quality of Eno resonates with the artist's own creative practice, his methods of using technology to compose music, and his endless deep dive into the mercurial essence of creativity. Eno premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Performances as the sun sets

Fred Frith

Fred Frith is a pioneer of the extended electric guitar. He learned to compose in Henry Cow, developed his song-writing skills in Art Bears, explored his multi-instrumentalism in Skeleton Crew, rocked the house with Massacre and is still doing all of those things, having been in one band or another continuously since 1964! Meanwhile his work has been performed by ensembles, string quartets, chamber orchestras, and a whole range of groups and artists in the ever-expanding field of semi-popular music. Fred composes extensively for film, including Rivers and Tides and Touch the Sound by Thomas Riedelsheimer, The Tango Lesson by Sally Potter, Werner Penzel’s Zen for Nothing, and the Oscar-nominated Last Day of Freedom, by Nomi Talisman and Dee Hibbert-Jones. His passion for improvising, evident from the beginning, has increasingly led him to work with artists who don’t necessarily define themselves as improvisers, including Brazilian drummer Mariá Portugal, Argentinian cellist and performance artist Paula Sanchez, and bricoleur extraordinaire Sudhu Tewari. Fred played on several recordings by Brian Eno in the 1970s, including Before and After Science and Music for Films.

Eucademix (Yuka Honda )

Eucademix is the moniker of Yuka Honda, a producer, composer, performer, and visual artist renowned for her innovative, genre-defying approach to music and multimedia. Through her compositions and self-crafted video art, Honda seeks to transport audiences and expand the possibilities of sound and visual expression.

Her work is shaped by a bold and distinctive fusion of influences: the experimental energy of New York’s downtown jazz scene, the raw power of hip-hop and street music, the intricacies of classical music cherished by her mother, and the profound inspiration of nature—wild, beautiful, and at times mercilessly harsh. Honda’s artistry blends experimental textures with rhythm-driven grooves, engaging both the intellect and the body.

Born in Tokyo, Honda spent her formative years in Germany and Denmark before later living in Aix-en-Provence and Paris. These cultural experiences deeply inform her sonic explorations, resulting in a distinct and boundary-pushing body of work.

In 1994, Honda co-founded the band Cibo Matto with Miho Hatori. Deeply connected to the rhythms of the natural world, Honda is also a board member of the Catskills Agrarian Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to food sovereignty and regenerative agriculture. Her recent works, Farm Psychedelia I and Farm Psychedelia II honor the radical farmers of upstate New York who are innovating solutions to food insecurity, further bridging her artistic practice with her commitment to community and environmental stewardship.

SUNJIR0 is one of the many aliases of Kadallah Burrowes, a transdisciplinary artist and creative technologist who brings vital soul and aesthetic depth to the bleeding edge of technical arts. Their current practice as a sonic artist makes use of live-coding environments to sculpt infinitely generating musical compositions within the realms of ambient, noise, and experimental electronic music. As a social arts practitioner, they helped catalyze the ANANSI Revolutionary Collective, a pan-African group of artists that democratically collaborate on art and work while physically spread across the world. SUNJIR0 and the ANANSI Revolutionary Collective were Wave Farm residents in 2024.

Kadallah's art work has been showcased and performed in person at Wave Farm, Fridman Gallery, Munyu Space, Nafasi Art Space, and Power Station of Art, and digitally in COMMON and in collaboration with the City of Seattle. Their work has been featured in Resident Advisor, Foxy Digitalis, China Daily, Kernel Magazine, Radii China, Brooklyn to Beijing, The Afrofuturist Podcast with Ahmed Best, GoFAR, and Speak Up! Speeches by Young People to Empower and Inspire.
