I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
Image
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno

I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.

Image
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
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

Repetition doesn't really exist
Brian Eno
Image
