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.

More quotes by Brian Eno
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.
Brian Eno
Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
Brian Eno
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
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
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
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
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
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
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
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
Brian Eno
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
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
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
For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.
Brian Eno
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno
You can hear the profile of a sound, in retrospect, so much more clearly than you did at the time. And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
