Painting, I think it's like jazz.
Brian Eno

All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
Image
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno
Image
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
Brian Eno
Image
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Image
I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
Brian Eno

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.

I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Image
The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
Image
My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist.
Brian Eno
Image
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
Image
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno
Image
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
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

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