Brian Eno
Image
Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
Brian Eno
Image
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
Image
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
Brian Eno
Image
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
I believe in singing.
