I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

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.

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
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

Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
Image
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
Brian Eno
Image
I want to make things that put me in the position of innocence, that recreate the feeling of innocence in you.
