More quotes by 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
I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.
Brian Eno
I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
The micro-compositions are the pieces themselves, but the macro-composition is the whole set of them and how it moves from track to track and how the titles relate to one another, for example. Always when I do records like this of a selection of instrumental pieces - the titles, to me, are very important.
Brian Eno
Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.
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
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno
I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
Brian Eno
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno
I hate the rock music tradition. I can't bear it!
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
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
I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
Brian Eno
Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.
Brian Eno
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Whenever you listen to a piece of music, what you are actually doing is hearing the latest sentence in a very long story you’ve been listening to - all the pieces of music you’ve ever heard.
