01UndatedI'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 / quote ↗
02UndatedI'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.Brian Eno / quote ↗
04UndatedI'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet. I think that's sort of a characteristic of the way I've worked ever since I started.Brian Eno / quote ↗
05UndatedI think that technology is always invented for historical reasons, to solve a historical problem. But they very soon reveal themselves to be capable of doing things that aren't historical that nobody had ever thought of doing before.Brian Eno / quote ↗
06UndatedYou can't have a relationship with a device whose limits are unknown to you, because without limits, it keeps becoming something else.Brian Eno / quote ↗
07UndatedInstruments sound interesting, not because of their sound, but because of the relationship a player has with them. Instrumentalists build a rapport with their instruments, which is what you like and respond to.Brian Eno / quote ↗
09UndatedI'd been making music that was intended to be like painting, in the sense that it's environmental, without the customary narrative and episodic quality that music normally has. I called this 'ambient music.' But at the same time I was trying to make visual art become more like music, in that it changed the way that music changes.Brian Eno / quote ↗
10UndatedSomething 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.Brian Eno / quote ↗
