At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art. – Brian Eno
I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming. – Brian Eno
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
Once music ceases to be ephemeral – always disappearing – and becomes instead material… it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time. – Brian Eno
