I dont like headphones very much, and I rarely listen to music on headphones. – 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

For instance, Im always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before. – Brian Eno
