More quotes by 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
In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, it now seems clear that the shock of the attacks was exploited in America.
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.
Brian Eno
Genius is individual, scenius is communal.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
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
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
Everything is an experiment until it has a deadline. That gives it a destination, context, and a reason.
Brian Eno
Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
Brian Eno
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno
I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
Brian Eno
Listening to something is an act of surrender.
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
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.
