A Year with Swollen Appendices is a book by Brian Eno.

First edition

The book published by Faber and Faber in 1996 is divided into two sections. The first part is a diary covering the year 1995, the second part, the 'swollen appendices' of the title is a collection of essays, short stories and correspondence. The cover photograph is by Anton Corbijn.

Diary

The diary covers the year 1995, which proved to be particularly productive for Eno. It details four different musical projects he was involved in, the album "Spinner" with Jah Wobble, the Passengers album "Original Soundtracks 1" with U2, David Bowie's "Outside" and the War Child charity album "The Help Album" as well as exploratory sessions with the band James.

In addition it covers various other projects Eno was involved in, in particular his opposition to the attacks on Bosnia by Croatia. Throughout the diaries there is correspondence between Eno and Stewart Brand, largely dealing with this subject.

Appendices

The appendices, which are delineated by pink paper in the original book, cover a number of different topics with some of the writing dating as far back as 1978. The essays cover subjects closely linked with Eno such as ambient music, generative music, music copyright, the role of an artist and art. In addition there is correspondence, interviews and short stories.
