And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.
Brian Eno
Image
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
Image
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
Brian Eno
Image
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
Image
All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.
Brian Eno
Image
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
Image
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
