Brian Eno
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
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
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.

Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from 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
A studio is an absolute labyrinth of possibilities - this is why records take so long to make because there are millions of permutations of things you can do. The most useful thing you can do is to get rid of some of those options before you start
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
