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?

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
Image
The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.
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.

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
Image
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Image
Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.

Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.

Image
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.

Genius is individual, scenius is communal.

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.
