The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
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
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.

I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.

Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.

Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.

If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.

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 suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno

I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band

I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
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
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
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.

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.

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.

All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.

Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
