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.

I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water. I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle. With a label on it.

It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

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.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

Nothing so dates an era as its conception of the future.

Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
Brian Eno
Image
A studio is an absolute labyrinth of possibilities - this is why records take so long to make because there are millions of permutations of things you can do. The most useful thing you can do is to get rid of some of those options before you start

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

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.

A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.

When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
