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.

More quotes by Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.
Brian Eno
I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.
Brian Eno
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
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
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Brian Eno
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
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
I'm very opinionated.
Brian Eno
Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.
Brian Eno
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
Brian Eno
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno
Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards I thought that was great for years.
Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
