More quotes by 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
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
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
I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.
Brian Eno
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.
Brian Eno
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
