Brian Eno on building musical systems

My kind of composing is more like the work of a gardener. The gardener takes his seeds and scatters them.
Brian Eno[2]
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular.
Brian Eno[6]
I prefer to shoot the arrow, then paint the target around it. You make the niches in which you finally reside.
Brian Eno[4]
Instead of trying to specify a system in full detail, specify it only somewhat.
Brian Eno[1]
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
