Quote

I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.

I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
Brian Eno
Image
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.

The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
Image
I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'

Image
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.

I take sounds and change them into words.

I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?

One often makes music to supplement one's world.

I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
Image
You can hear the profile of a sound, in retrospect, so much more clearly than you did at the time. And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.

Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
Image
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.

Listening to something is an act of surrender.
