I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.

I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno

I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
Image
My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.
Brian Eno
Image
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.
Brian Eno
Image
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

One often makes music to supplement one's world.

Image
I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
