I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

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

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.

Brian Eno
Image
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.

Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.

If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
