William Eggleston is a famed photographer and musician credited for iconic album covers such as Spoon’s&nbsp;Transference&nbsp;and Jimmy Eat World’s&nbsp;Bleed American.&nbsp;512&nbsp;was inspired and recorded at the Parkview Apartments in Memphis, Tennessee where Eggleston lived for almost ten years. &nbsp;The apartment was full of art and inspiration: cameras, naturally, but also high-end stereo tube amplifiers and objects that you’d rush towards money in hand at your local flea market. But also a gigantic nine foot Bosendorfer grand piano and a massive grand vintage JBL theater speaker console. His home was overwhelmed by music.&nbsp;By recording there the album captures not just his performances, but also the vibe of the place; it often felt as though there were artists lurking in the aether listening along. His visitors over the years were no small change: Lee Friedlander, Carl Sagan, Dennis Hopper, Paul McCartney and many others came to see him and listen to his hypnotic “Musik”. You can hear local traffic, a dog barking, weather; reality, in other words. But there was another space layered on top, a kind of surreality echoing his music, as you can imagine a gathering of musicians listening in, eager to join him. Thus came along&nbsp;512&nbsp;which features the legendary Brian Eno on bells and production from Leo Abrahams (Regina Spektor, Paul Simon, Jon Hopkins).”
