Anyone remember anything about an exercise Brian Eno came up with for doing random instructions on index cards or whatever? i thought I rea somewhere that there was something online about it.

Google for "oblique strategies". Here's an online version.

Thanks guys. I couldn't remember "oblique strategies". I was searching for "Eno" + "Random" and not getting much.

Ive read about this before but never grasped the concept.

Isn't this just a random sentence generator with list of predefined words ?
