Background.
Brian Eno met Rick Holland in the late 1990s, through the collaborative 'Map-Making' project. After creating their first music together in 2003, they met infrequently to work on new compositions. Following the release of Eno's "Small Craft on a Milk Sea" in 2010, the pair decided to complete their project. "Drums Between the Bells" is the result of their meetings (although their 2003 work does not appear on this album).
