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
Whenever you listen to a piece of music, what you are actually doing is hearing the latest sentence in a very long story you’ve been listening to - all the pieces of music you’ve ever heard.
Brian Eno
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
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.
Brian Eno
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
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
It's amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
