I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school. – 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
