More quotes by 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
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
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
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else.
Brian Eno
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
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
One night, I pissed into an empty wine bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python, and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss,' so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing
Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
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
I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It's by the sea, there's a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.
Brian Eno
In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.
Brian Eno
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre.
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.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
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
Except in a few cases like Music for Airports, which was a very clear case of noticing a niche [and] saying, Okay, there's this situation in which people always play music, and nobody has written music for that situation so I'm going to. So, that was a very clear example of spotting a niche and working for it. I have done that occasionally.
Brian Eno
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.
