Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.

Brian Eno
Image
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

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
Brian Eno

One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno

I believe in singing.
Brian Eno

Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Image
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno

I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.

Something I’ve realized lately, to my shock, is that I am an optimist, in that I think humans are almost infinitely capable of self-change and self-modification, and that we really can build the future that we want if we’re smart about it.
