All music has political dimensions because it suggests a way of being.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very opinionated.
Brian Eno
Image
Culture is everything you don't have to do.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm not interested in possible complexities. I regard song structure as a graph paper.
Brian Eno
Image
For me it's always contingent on getting a sound-the sound always suggests what kind of melody it should be. So it's always sound first and then the line afterwards.
Brian Eno
Image
Lyrics are always misleading because they make people think that that's what the music is about.
Brian Eno
Image
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
Image
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
Brian Eno
Image
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno

Good teachers realise that the students are the antenna they are sensing things that the teachers don't yet sense.
Brian Eno
Image
I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.
Brian Eno
Image
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.
Brian Eno
Image
The tools are evolving, and people's interests are evolving as well. So, suddenly people like to hear bands, people like Devendra Banhart or the xx, bands that make a kind of virtue of sloppiness. That isn't what they would describe what they're doing, but the fact is they make a virtue of the sort of hand-made nature of what they're doing.
Brian Eno
Image
What happens with notation is that it reduces things to a language which isn't necessarily appropriate to them. In the same way that words do, you get a much cruder version of what was actually intended.
Brian Eno
Image
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
Image
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
Image
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
Image
It must be quite mysterious to some people why I bother to carry on. Because, you know, I don't sell that many records.
