This song is primarily and explicitly about Brian Eno's research into the idea of "The Long Now" or, basically, contemplating time on not a human but a geologic scale. He has joined other composers and computer scientists to compose music that is infinitely long, yet never repetitive, made up of various sounds of clock bells and chimes.
I don't have the effort in me to find the links, but they are all over Eno's Wikipedia entry.
