More quotes by Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.
Brian Eno
I'm very opinionated.
Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
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
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
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
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
Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
Brian Eno
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
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
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
Brian Eno
I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
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
Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated towards situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend towards the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results
