More quotes by Brian Eno

You can hear the profile of a sound, in retrospect, so much more clearly than you did at the time. And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
Image
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Brian Eno
Image
Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated towards situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend towards the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results
Brian Eno

Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.

Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

Honor thy error as a hidden intention.

Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.

Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
Image
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno
Image
I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.

You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
Image
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Image
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
Image
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

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.
