Maybe someone can help me with this. I've searched a few times for the origin of the Eno neologism "scenius" without luck. blissblogger and others have helped to popularise it. In A Year with Swollen Appendices: Brian Eno's Diary, Eno says...
But that's all I can find about it (though I haven't searched through Olgivy's books). Did he write more about it elsewhere, earlier? Or was it a word he would throw around in conversation or correspondence, and then finally got around to writing about in the diary?A few years ago I came up with a new word... I call this ‘scenius’... This word is now starting to gain currency- the philosopher James Ogilvy uses it in his most recent book.
