Eno Looooong time stretch

[Jim Carter <Jim.Carter@bristol.ac.uk>]

Not loop related but ....

I Heard an interview with Brian Eno on Radio 4 (UK quality radio) 
this morning representing the Society for the Extended Present
(or something similar) who are deticated to increasing the
attention span. 
According to the interview he would like to build a clock which
ticks once a year and "bongs" once a century. 
Is this an example of preplanned silence? Will he sample it for
a composition? Is this just a means of building suspense?
Should I stop listening to interviews before I'm properly awake?
