Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Brian Eno
Image
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
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno

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

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.
Brian Eno

Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno

Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.

Brian Eno

In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it
Brian Eno

I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno

You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
Image
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
Image
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
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.
