More quotes by Brian Eno
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
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Brian Eno
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
Brian Eno
I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
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 make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
