More quotes by 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
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band
Brian Eno
I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
It infuriates me that stuff from the Internet routinely doesn't include all the credits. Because as soon as I listen to something, if I like it, I want to know, Who's the bass player? Who did that? Who's the engineer on this?
Brian Eno
Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
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 always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water. I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle. With a label on it.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
