More quotes by Brian Eno
If something is good, you must torture it mercilessly until it is either dead or great.
Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
Repetition doesn't really exist
Brian Eno
Any constraint is part of the skeleton that you build the composition on - including your own incompetence.
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
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
You can hear the profile of a sound, in retrospect, so much more clearly than you did at the time. And I think one of the things that's going to be nauseatingly characteristic about so much music of now is its glossy production values and its griddedness, the tightness of the way everything is locked together.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Painting, I think it's like jazz.
Brian Eno
If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
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
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
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'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
Brian Eno
