Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Image
I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
Brian Eno
Image
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.

Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
Brian Eno
Image
