In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

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.

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.

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

Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
Brian Eno

Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
Image
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
Image
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Brian Eno
Image
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
Image
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.

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