More quotes by Brian Eno
If you've spent a long time developing a skill and techniques, and now some 14 year-old upstart can get exactly the same result, you might feel a bit miffed I suppose, but that has happened forever.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
If you had a sign above every studio door saying ‘This Studio is a Musical Instrument’ it would make such a different approach to recording.
Brian Eno
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
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
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
It infuriates me that stuff from the Internet routinely doesn't include all the credits. Because as soon as I listen to something, if I like it, I want to know, Who's the bass player? Who did that? Who's the engineer on this?
Brian Eno
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
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
Brian Eno
People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
At the party, Rob Partridge said to me, You gave hope to other balding men. My new epitaph: Co-wrote a couple of decent songs and went bald shamelessly.
Brian Eno
For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.
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
When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
Brian Eno
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
