Brian Eno

I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
I'm bloody awful at multi-tasking.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Image
American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno
Image
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
Image
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
Image
Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.
