Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
Image
The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.
Brian Eno
Image
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
Image
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
Image
Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.
Brian Eno
Image
Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.
Brian Eno
Image
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
Image
I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

Image
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno

The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.

When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
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
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
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
I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
Brian Eno
Image
If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
Brian Eno
Image
I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water. I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle. With a label on it.

Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.

Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.

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