More quotes by Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
I thought it was magic to be able to catch something identically on tape and then be able to play around with it, run it backwards I thought that was great for years.
Brian Eno
I believe in singing.
Brian Eno
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
Brian Eno
Except in a few cases like Music for Airports, which was a very clear case of noticing a niche [and] saying, Okay, there's this situation in which people always play music, and nobody has written music for that situation so I'm going to. So, that was a very clear example of spotting a niche and working for it. I have done that occasionally.
Brian Eno
When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.
Brian Eno
I'm very opinionated.
Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
Well, I am a dilettante. It's only in England that dilettantism is considered a bad thing. In other countries it's called interdisciplinary research.
Brian Eno
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
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
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
The point about melody and beat and lyric is that they exist to engage you in a very particular way. They want to occupy your attention.
Brian Eno
