More quotes by 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
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno

Brian Eno
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.
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
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
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
