He worked with Bowie as a writer and musician on Bowie's influential 1977–79 'Berlin Trilogy' of albums, "Low, "Heroes"" and "Lodger", on Bowie's later album "Outside", and on the song "I'm Afraid of Americans". Recorded in France and Germany, the spacey effects on "Low" were largely created by Eno, who played a portable EMS Synthi A synthesizer. Producer Tony Visconti used an Eventide Harmonizer to alter the sound of the drums, claiming that the audio processor "f–s with the fabric of time." After Bowie died in early 2016, Eno said that he and Bowie had been talking about taking "Outside", the last album they'd worked on together, "somewhere new", and expressed regret that they wouldn't be able to pursue the project.
