Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
Image
All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.
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. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.

Brian Eno
Image
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Image
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno
Image
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
Image
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.

If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
