I think, if you spend a day or - as many people do - a life working only with that aspect of your being, the cerebrum connected to a finger, I feel that the rest of you atrophies, essentially.
Brian Eno

I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.

I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.

One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.

People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.

Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno

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?

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.

If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno

The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno

I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.
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
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
Image
The micro-compositions are the pieces themselves, but the macro-composition is the whole set of them and how it moves from track to track and how the titles relate to one another, for example. Always when I do records like this of a selection of instrumental pieces - the titles, to me, are very important.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it!
Brian Eno
Image
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.

You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
