Quote

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.

There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.
Brian Eno
Image
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Image
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.
Brian Eno
Image
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
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.

People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Image
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Image
I occasionally meet people and they say, 'Oh, I was born to Discreet Music'... They always have very weird eyes, those people.
Brian Eno
Image
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno
Image
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Image
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
Brian Eno
Image
Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated towards situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend towards the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results

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.

I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
