Quote by Brian Eno

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself, in a sense, in the mid 1960s really, when I first heard composers like Terry Riley, and when I first started playing with tape recorders.

I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself

Summary

This quote reflects the artist's fascination with the concept of self-generating music, sparked by the discovery of compositions by Terry Riley and experimenting with tape recorders in the 1960s. It suggests a growing interest in the potential of music to evolve and create itself, unbound by traditional methods of composition. This exploration likely fostered a new approach to the creative process, embracing technology and unconventional techniques to push the boundaries of musical expression.

Muhammad professed to derive from Heaven, and he has inserted in the Koran, not only a body of religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The gospel, on the contrary, only speaks of the general relations of men to God and to each other - beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone, besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, whilst the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods.
