:00:00. > :00:44.A wizard who likes decibels, who has won Grammies,
:00:45. > :00:53.The former member of the band, Roxy Music, has added his unique
:00:54. > :00:58.production sound to the biggest acts in the world -
:00:59. > :01:02.groups like U2 and Coldplay, and some chap called David.
:01:03. > :01:05.And it is his love of random, so-called generative art,
:01:06. > :01:14.Eno, whose sonar music is very atmospheric and ethereal,
:01:15. > :01:17.is regarded as 'The Godfather' of ambient music and his new work,
:01:18. > :01:19.Reflection, is also rather unpredictable.
:01:20. > :01:21.It is a generative music app which follows rules defined
:01:22. > :01:25.and refined by Eno but which plays differently every time you listen.
:01:26. > :01:28.So 14% of these notes, a random 14%, are going to be pitched down
:01:29. > :01:34.The second is 41% of them are going to go an octave down
:01:35. > :01:42.I would go further, quantum scientist.
:01:43. > :01:49.Brian Eno has spent weeks, even months, tweaking these rules
:01:50. > :01:54.and probabilities which, they're all when combined,
:01:55. > :01:56.cause these sounds to randomly echo, bounce, transpose or not
:01:57. > :02:01.So these are all different types of scripters.
:02:02. > :02:04.And then there's a whole lot of other stuff.
:02:05. > :02:27.A lot of music is based just on things like that and it goes
:02:28. > :02:31.Now I will putting in some scripters.
:02:32. > :02:34.First thing I'm going to put in is a way of reducing
:02:35. > :02:52.Now, let's have it hit some outdrums, occasionally.
:02:53. > :02:55.Already it is a pretty crappy drummer, I have to say.
:02:56. > :02:58.Well, no, I have to say, actually, this is way more interesting,
:02:59. > :03:01.with the greatest of respect, than the original drumbeat,
:03:02. > :03:13.Traditional music, you have a piece which you lock down but you are not
:03:14. > :03:18.You are locking down a kind of process.
:03:19. > :03:25.It's almost like you're taking this, or part of it, and you're locking
:03:26. > :03:29.that down, this is how I might want the piece to be but I don't mind
:03:30. > :03:36.I am trying to make a version of me in the software,
:03:37. > :03:42.I'm always interested in what is at the edge of my taste
:03:43. > :03:45.envelope, if you like, and randomness is a way
:03:46. > :03:56.Have you ever thought about whether you can copyright
:03:57. > :04:03.If you sell the app to somebody, do they own the music that comes
:04:04. > :04:06.Because they have constructed it, in a way.
:04:07. > :04:09.All the bits are mine but the final construction is that theirs so.
:04:10. > :04:14.I do not think it is very easy to make a case for saying
:04:15. > :04:18.it is my music, because it sort of is in a modern sense
:04:19. > :04:23.We spent about an hour with Brian Eno and in the next few
:04:24. > :04:26.days, you can see more inside Brian Eno's brain online.
:04:27. > :04:40.This week, Samsung launched its latest mobile phones.
:04:41. > :04:43.Just a few minutes to go until the launch starts
:04:44. > :04:46.and there is an incredible level of secrecy here but I guess
:04:47. > :04:49.there is a lot at stake for Samsung after the Note 7 debacle,
:04:50. > :04:58.we're just waiting to see what the S8 has in store for us.
:04:59. > :05:01.Soon the hype turned to cold hard facts, Out of this Samsung Unboxed
:05:02. > :05:10.So here we have it - the S8 and the S8 plus.
:05:11. > :05:14.Not even the Plus seems to be that large -
:05:15. > :05:19.that's because the screens on both of them curve over the edges.
:05:20. > :05:21.There's been a lot of hype about this.
:05:22. > :05:24.Personally, I'm not really sure it feels like that big a deal,
:05:25. > :05:27.but it does mean you get a screen which is bigger
:05:28. > :05:37.A few of the features that we've been told about today -
:05:38. > :05:58.Iris and facial recognition as well, meaning you should not need
:05:59. > :06:01.a password but should still be able to achieve
:06:02. > :06:05.There's also what they call an invisible "home" button.
:06:06. > :06:09.As you press it, you can feel some sensation.
:06:10. > :06:13.One thing we have heard a lot of talk about is the launch of Bixby.
:06:14. > :06:16.When fully functioning, the system aims to make interacting
:06:17. > :06:19.Interacting with 10 Samsung apps, controlling other Samsung devices -
:06:20. > :06:22.yes, there is a theme here - and using artificial intelligence
:06:23. > :06:26.to learn your habits and suggest what you might be looking for next.
:06:27. > :06:28.Naturally, I want to test this new personal assistant,
:06:29. > :06:31.but there is one substantial problem - Bixby is currently only
:06:32. > :06:36.It is not until May that it is going to be released in American English,
:06:37. > :06:39.and then after that some other languages are going to follow.
:06:40. > :06:47.It may well be great, but I cannot tell you about it.
:06:48. > :06:50.In the meantime, the image recognition function is in action.
:06:51. > :06:54.You photograph an item and it aims to find it for you online...
:06:55. > :07:09.The phone will be released this month from $650.
:07:10. > :07:12.The company believe they will see explosive sales, but let's hope
:07:13. > :07:26.Now, to cyborgs and when Hollywood imagines them they look way too
:07:27. > :07:29.futuristic to be anywhere close to becoming a reality.
:07:30. > :07:34.They did not save your life, they stole it.
:07:35. > :07:39.Dan Simons has a very special appointment with Professor Someya
:07:40. > :08:00.I have come to see a professor who is apparently going to turn me
:08:01. > :08:09.into some sort of cyborg, so it's very unusual.
:08:10. > :08:12.It's one of the first times a camera crew has been allowed
:08:13. > :08:16.in to see the process happen, and it will all take place
:08:17. > :08:26.This research team have come up with the world's thinnest organic
:08:27. > :08:29.circuits, lighter than a feather, they could be worn like
:08:30. > :08:41.Either monitoring the body or as an e-skin display.
:08:42. > :08:43.We can introduce the electronic functions directly
:08:44. > :08:48.on the surface of the skin without causing any discomfort.
:08:49. > :08:52.This is human and machine coming together?
:08:53. > :08:56.The display they are putting on to me has taken three days
:08:57. > :09:03.to manufacture, so the research team are being very careful.
:09:04. > :09:06.It is just two to three microns in thickness.
:09:07. > :09:08.The magic is controlled by polymer semiconductors and transparent
:09:09. > :09:10.electrodes with organic semiconductors and diodes firing
:09:11. > :09:23.They can scrunch them and, on rubber, even stretch of them.
:09:24. > :09:26.The circuits still work, and that is something I have come
:09:27. > :09:30.Professor Someya has used this e-skin to measure heart rate
:09:31. > :09:36.Is it robust enough to go running with, for example?
:09:37. > :09:46.It doesn't cause any mechanical failure.
:09:47. > :09:54.Would you expect us to change this every two or three days?
:09:55. > :10:04.So if we can manufacture everything very cheap,
:10:05. > :10:07.so after you go to the shower and then delaminate your skin,
:10:08. > :10:25.This is just a single digit display today,
:10:26. > :10:34.So, the second step will be much multiple digits and then
:10:35. > :10:43.going to the high-definition display.
:10:44. > :10:47.Yes, 1,000 pixels, that's technologically possible.
:10:48. > :10:50.So on our hand, so we could, what, talk to people?
:10:51. > :10:56.This could be a picture of my mum, for example?
:10:57. > :11:00.I could say, "Hi, Mum", and my Mum would appear on my hand?
:11:01. > :11:02.Yes, that would be possible in the future, maybe four
:11:03. > :11:06.But lifetime will be the biggest issues.
:11:07. > :11:30.This is the start of the rise of the cyborgs.
:11:31. > :11:40.That fit for the short version of Click this week. The full version is
:11:41. > :11:48.available online. There is much more from Brian Eno coming soon as well,
:11:49. > :11:54.we will tweet you when it is ready -- that's it for the short version.
