If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.

The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
Image
All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.

I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Image
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.

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.

The problem with improvisation is, of course, that everyone just slips into their comfort zone and does sort of the easy thing to do, the most obvious thing to do with your instrument.

I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence , heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.

I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.

Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.

I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.

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
