Quote

I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It's by the sea, there's a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.

Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
Image
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.

When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno

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
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
Image
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
Image
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
Brian Eno
Image
If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.
Brian Eno
Image
I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
Brian Eno
Image
I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.

In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it

I can see the use and value of religion, just as I can see the use of mud wrestling, yoga, astronomy and sadomasochism. but I reject the idea that you can't be a deep human being without it or any of them.
