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.

When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.

Brian Eno
Image
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.

People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian Eno
Image
In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.

In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.

I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
Image
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it, but they're happy if they do get it.

Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.

All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.

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.
