More quotes by Brian Eno
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
Brian Eno
I love San Francisco and Brighton has something of San Francisco about it. It's by the sea, there's a big gay community, a feeling of people being there because they enjoy their life there.
Brian Eno
Painting, I think it's like jazz.
Brian Eno
I describe things in terms of body movements. I dance a bit to describe what sort of movement it ought to make, and that's a good way of talking to musicians. Particularly bass players.
Brian Eno
The micro-compositions are the pieces themselves, but the macro-composition is the whole set of them and how it moves from track to track and how the titles relate to one another, for example. Always when I do records like this of a selection of instrumental pieces - the titles, to me, are very important.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
One night, I pissed into an empty wine bottle so I could continue watching Monty Python, and suddenly thought 'I've never tasted my own piss,' so I drank a little. It looked just like Orvieto Classico and tasted of nearly nothing
Brian Eno
Whenever you listen to a piece of music, what you are actually doing is hearing the latest sentence in a very long story you’ve been listening to - all the pieces of music you’ve ever heard.
Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
Brian Eno
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular it must be as ignorable as it is interesting.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno
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.
