More quotes by Brian Eno
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.
Brian Eno
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.
Brian Eno
I suppose I am reluctant about being any sort of 'star' and I didn't particularly want to be portrayed as one.
Brian Eno
As soon as I hear a sound, it always suggests a mood to me.
Brian Eno
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
Brian Eno
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
Brian Eno
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
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
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
Brian Eno
You just make different music on a computer. And you can make wonderful music on a computer, but don't pretend that the machinery is transparent. It makes as much difference to what you're doing as it does if you play an acoustic guitar as opposed to a kettledrum. You're not going to make the same music.
Brian Eno
I'm always interested in something when it isn't familiar to me.
Brian Eno
Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
Most game music is based on loops effectively.
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
