More quotes by Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.
Brian Eno
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.
Brian Eno
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
Brian Eno
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
