When Laurie Anderson talked to Eno for Interview Magazine, they had the following exchange:

ANDERSON: So are the horns on Lux real?

ENO: No.

ANDERSON: I thought those were real, far away horns.

ENO: Yeah, it does sound like that. There are real strings in there, though they’re all played by one person, my friend Nell Catchpole. There’s also an instrument called the Moog Guitar. It’s a fantastic instrument.

ANDERSON: Oh, I’ve heard about that.

ENO: It’s an amazing instrument. It’s a completely new instrument, actually. It’s called a guitar, but the people who have started using it to do interesting things are moving far away from any character guitars have had traditionally. The only instruments on the album are piano, strings, this Moog Guitar, and some synthesizers. But the synthesizer sounds I was using are ones that I’ve been working on for quite a few years, and they can sometimes sound like they might be horns.

"My main goal was to try to create a hybrid lead instrument out of three different instruments that had common properties and all were a little outside the usual mid 2010’s soundtrack pallet: Moog guitar, fretless bass and pedal steel."
