The Lighthouse joins a growing programming
line-up on Sonos Radio HD, now expanding to Austria, Canada,
France, Germany and The Netherlands
Today Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) debuts an exclusive new Sonos Radio
HD station from Brian Eno called The Lighthouse, launching
alongside the expanded availability of Sonos Radio HD into Austria,
Canada, France, Germany and The Netherlands. Since its launch in
April 2020, Sonos Radio has continued to evolve and expand its
programming with artists at the creative helm, offering
unparalleled experiences for artists and music fans to connect
through human-curated content and music discovery.
A lifelong creator and innovator, Eno collaborated with Sonos
Radio to design a new station format that explores his extensive
archive of unreleased work. The Lighthouse will serve as a living
collection where Eno will premiere both past and new musical
projects directly to fans across the world, giving listeners rare
insight into an illustrious career spanning more than 50 years of
creating, producing and redefining music. The Lighthouse will bring
this music exclusively to listeners of Sonos Radio HD, the ad-free,
high-definition audio tier of Sonos’ popular streaming service,
Sonos Radio.
“The music that will be broadcast from The Lighthouse covers a
pretty broad period,” explained Eno. “The earliest track we have at
the moment is from 1990. We will be adding more pieces as time goes
on. New pieces will be entering the mix and some of that will go
back even further. You will be listening to a sequence of tracks
which will be randomly generated, chosen by chance so there is the
possibility of odd, I hope exciting collisions - things that are
very slow next to things that are very fast next to things that
have no tempo, no pulse at all.”
Over the coming months, Eno will host a series of three programs
related to The Lighthouse, starting with Program 1, where he
discusses the unreleased material and why he’s finally decided to
dig into the archive and share it with the world. Program 1 is
available starting today on The Lighthouse on Sonos Radio HD and
free to all Sonos customers through the in-app Sonos Sound System
archive. Listeners everywhere can tune in on Mixcloud.
“On Sonos Radio, we strive to provide a creative outlet for the
artists we collaborate with,” said Joe Dawson, Director of Content
and Brand Platforms at Sonos. “For months, we’ve been working with
Brian Eno to bring his creative vision for The Lighthouse to life,
redefining the possibilities of a radio station. With this living
archive, fans can continuously immerse themselves in decades of
Brian’s unheard music. This project is a testament to how we
approach partnering with artists, bringing exclusive content to the
service and continuing to evolve the experience for our listeners
on Sonos Radio.”
In addition to bringing new content to both tiers of service,
today, Sonos Radio HD is expanding beyond the United States and
United Kingdom into five new territories with Austria, Canada,
France, Germany and The Netherlands, giving millions of Sonos
owners access to the ad-free, high-definition streaming tier with
skips, repeats and an expanded catalogue of exclusive programming
including The Lighthouse. Sonos Radio HD is available in these
markets on Sonos’ S2 app starting today. Customers can subscribe on
sonos.com for $7.99/€7.99 per month after a free, one month trial.
Listeners everywhere can tune-in to select Sonos Radio shows
through Mixcloud.
