More quotes by Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
Brian Eno
I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
Brian Eno
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.
Brian Eno
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.
Brian Eno
I describe things in terms of body movements. I dance a bit to describe what sort of movement it ought to make, and that's a good way of talking to musicians. Particularly bass players.
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
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
Brian Eno
The tools are evolving, and people's interests are evolving as well. So, suddenly people like to hear bands, people like Devendra Banhart or the xx, bands that make a kind of virtue of sloppiness. That isn't what they would describe what they're doing, but the fact is they make a virtue of the sort of hand-made nature of what they're doing.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
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.
