Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when youre listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music. – Brian Eno

There are certain sounds that Ive found work well in nearly any context. Their function is not so much musical as spatial: they define the edges of the territory of the music. – Brian Eno
