Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.

More quotes by Brian Eno
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno
Attention is what creates value. Artworks are made as well by how people interact with them - and therefore by what quality of interaction they can inspire.
Brian Eno
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
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 see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
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
What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.
