More quotes by Brian Eno
I hate talking about music, to tell you the truth.
Brian Eno
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Brian Eno
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band
Brian Eno
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Perhaps when music has been shouting for so long, a quieter voice seems attractive.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
Repetition doesn't really exist
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian Eno
Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
Brian Eno
