More quotes by Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
I believe in singing.
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
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
Brian Eno
Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
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
I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
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
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
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
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
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
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it!
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
