Quote

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.

Brian Eno
Image
Also something that you don't have to listen to from beginning to end - you can enter at any point and leave at any point.
Brian Eno

I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Image
Everybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they're transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.
Brian Eno
Image
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno

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

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

The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.

Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
