You know that in order to copyright material somebody has to write it down for you. Any piece of recorded material has to be scored in order for it to be copyrighted.

Brian Eno

It’s amazing how quickly people get used to bad quality.
BRIAN ENO

Bad People Qualities Quality
People who are very confident in themselves aren’t hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
BRIAN ENO

Criticism Hurt People
As struggles go, being an artist isn’t that much of one.
BRIAN ENO

Artist Being One Struggle
In fact, quite a lot of what I do has to do with sound texture, and, you can’t notate that. You can’t notate the sound of “St. Elmo’s Fire.” There’s no way of writing that down. That’s because musical notation arose at a time when sound textures were limited.
BRIAN ENO

Mean Musical Sound Writing
One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn’t if you knew better.
BRIAN ENO

Interesting Moving Musical

BRIAN ENO

Giving Long Mean
All the best lyrics are written in ten minutes.
BRIAN ENO

Best Minutes Written
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn’t bother to find new ones.
BRIAN ENO

Fabulous Sound Use
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

Certain Messages Rich
I hate the rock music tradition. I can’t bear it!
BRIAN ENO

Bears Hate Rocks
Everybody is entertained to death.
BRIAN ENO

Death Entertained Everybody
Ambient music is intended to induce calm and a space to think.
BRIAN ENO

Calm Space Thinking
What I would really like to do, if I could have a sort of kingship for a short time and organize the group of my dreams.
BRIAN ENO

Dream Feelings Together
