More quotes by Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno
If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.
Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent.

Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards I thought that was great for years.
Brian Eno
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
Brian Eno
What people call unemotional just doesnt have a single overriding emotion to it. The things that I like best are the ones that ambiguous on the emotional level.
Brian Eno
The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
