What I really admire about Eno is that he never plays the 'wizard' role; he doesn't obscure what he does or adopt a twerpy persona. Spencer Kelly is trying to big him up as though he has mystical powers, but Eno wants to demystify what he does and let others know it's within their capabilities. He's obviously dazzlingly bright, but above all he extols the joy of having an enquiring mind.
That's the key to his genius, I believe....constantly being curious and never being afraid to make mistakes. It's inspirational, because anyone can foster those qualities, and be a little closer to genius.

I met Mr Eno years ago when I worked in a hifi store. I didn’t recognise him until he produced his credit card, he was generous enough to spend time talking synthesizers - or more precisely my ‘museum pieces’ as he described them, whilst explaining the principles of digital synthesis. He’d only come in to buy a pair of headphones. Thank you Brian.
For me, Brian Eno is the greatest living artist. His creativity, his work, his music, his personable character, and his clarity of explanation and openness is great.
I was watching another interview with Eno today on RUclips and someone left this comment, "He's so fucking brilliant. No pretension or pomposity, just a guy who fucking loves to create." So true. And also, he is such a genuinely nice bloke. :-)
I think it's funny how people are unimpressed because "everyone else is doing that" when he's the one who came up with it to begin with. It's hard to look original when everyone else has been copying you for decades.
Been a big fan of Eno's since waaay back...I'm a geezer...and he always gives me new reasons to continue being a fan. Smart, talented, interesting, pretty humble considering his genius. Aces vid.
Curiosity generates inspiration and then creativity. I am liking Eno, for his methods that help artists get out of comfort zone and avoid repeating the same thing. A way to keep things new.
I feel lucky to have been turned on to him by high school friends in 1980. Amazing that after 40 years his work never gets old. Thanks to YT it's possible to burrow into more than just his music on a record player.
Brian Eno is a true visionary. Much respect for the man. I would've been very impressed that he found such a smooth round potato stone. That's a great find.
Brian Eno , He is a person of incredible genius. “ Reflection “ I use this application all the time. This application always Version ups that change every four seasons,Thank you !
I don't know if it happened by now but I would love to see and hear the result of Brian Eno playing with Elektron sequencers ... Would suit him really great.
I remember being inspired to make music from looking at the back of Music for Films with his geometric notation design on the back of the cover, for non musicians to draw a song with.
au contraire, eno is under estimated. his outsider status and massive intellect has helped to create some wonderful moments in pop music and beyond. Granted in conjunction with others,but that's how to stay alive. most people have one idea on thier own. then they die from repetition of the same idea. we should cherish this man whilst he is still alive.
this is just great and very generous of eno. the interviewer is so-so, but he lets the guy talk, so thats a win. plus eno was in very good humor and it makes you want to hang around this.
Can't believe this came out seven years ago... I just started experimenting with randomness, scripts and generative sequencing in my music two weeks ago and now I found this and learned that I simply channeled my inner Brian Eno all the time?! I love him so much! ❤❤❤
I love how you can totally randomize the drum loops, yet still count the beat. The Modal Randomizer plugin in Reaper does the same thing. I love playing around with it...
searching for origins of Windows 95 startup sound brought me to discover a person, who is so incredibly extraordinary. Completely out of this world. His music.. so flowing, so merging. Truly discovered a new gem. In fact it was 1 AM.. guess the best ideas come past midnight lol xD
amazing how Brian didn't use his voice enough during those awesome years ...what he did use during those times were great baby on fire and needle camels eye was the best
I love a whole variety of music and am not particularly patriotic, but Brian Eno, Imogen Heap, Jamie xx /xx and bat for lashes all make me a proud brit 👌
This kind of software is rampant these days, even on iPads, where musicians can create music while having a coffee in a coffee shop. There are more and more programmers doing this kind of thing in various ways with various interfaces. It's so much fun.
Odd seeing his studio like this, but can imagine the work that goes into making such classic albums. Eno is a great creator and I love his musical output whether it be solo efforts or in collaborations and/or production, its all good stuff. I particularly enjoyed the ambient lighting and the array of a million pictures. The speaker setup looks kind of complicated but interesting as well that I can imagine an installation like that. Smart fellow. Thanks for sharing
Lovely man, inspirational work and message...and a great interview, some really good questions, a good counterpart to the Arena documentary. I do wonder if there is supposed to be an irony in him talking about humanising work and allowing errors in the system when this is shot and edited so badly? Even for the lower production bar of RUclips, the out of focus, shaky and different looking cameras are jarring. At least they got the sound good, I guess - although rather quiet at the start. And all from the BBC who SHOULD know better!

Great story.
Yeah ok.

To me it is David Lynch, but Brian Eno really close!
Mr Eno is a national treasure. Fascinating on many levels...could listen to him pontificating for hours
I sincerely wish this was 30 hours long instead of 30 minutes long.

I cannot agree more. And now that you say that, maybe what I really want is to hang out with him for a day.
or two, or a week, or one month, maybe a year or maybe we need some more time
Eventually technology will be good enough to have generative Brian Eno interviews that last forever
Incredibly inspiring!!
Brian Eno is one of the great scientific, artistic and musical innovators of our time. A man with a huge and valuable intellect.
Those notebooks alone could be worth billions someday.
Hes a very unpretentious lovely man
Truly lovely
I think it's funny how people are unimpressed because "everyone else is doing that" when he's the one who came up with it to begin with. It's hard to look original when everyone else has been copying you for decades.
If there were more Brians this world would be a much better place.
Perfectly said sir

We are so fortunate to have brilliant artists like Brian Eno and David Lynch.
I've been an Eno fan since Roxy Music, and I've never seen this side of him. His genius is amazing.
Eno is f***ing brilliant,isnt he??
This guy has been making beautifull art all hes life without ever falling in the trap that is being a celebrity.
I feel lucky to have been turned on to him by high school friends in 1980. Amazing that after 40 years his work never gets old. Thanks to YT it's possible to burrow into more than just his music on a record player.
he is creativity, he never stops being fascinated with his various artistic paths
One of the greatest, important, creative, intelligent, influential, special British musicians ever. Love his stuff :)
Awww, I love that Brian found a cool potato rock. I can relate.

I don't know if it happened by now but I would love to see and hear the result of Brian Eno playing with Elektron sequencers ... Would suit him really great.
03.17 I saw these installed in a botanical garden in Geneva. The sound changed as you moved passed them. It sounded great.
that 'speaker plant' at 3:20 is absolutely mindblowing.
7:28 there is some girl back there. She is one of the reasons of Eno being this amazing.
Man, you have one hell of an eye ! :)
Bit 'The Ring' though.

What an fascinating guy Brian Eno is. Id love to observe him, doing his thing
read his diary from 1995!
Loving the creative camera work. The fast cuts and experimental angles seem so fitting :)

Should be UK's minister of education
I was just thinking that. Imagine if he was Minister for Culture, Arts and Education.
Stellar idea! He certainly knows a lot more about realistic education..
He is more intelligent than the whole of the UK’s government combined!
He's too overqualified for any government.
6:00 Frank Ocean's Boys Don't Cry magazine in left bottom corner, nice to see Brian is keeping up with new artists
He’s anything but a philistine
Eno has been cited as an influence on Blonde although I don’t know if Frank has confirmed that
I'm so happy watching this.
That was a joy to watch my favourite artist in his playzones. Thank you for sharing yourself Brian.
Absolutely adore this guy. Thoroughly enjoyed that.
I love how you can totally randomize the drum loops, yet still count the beat. The Modal Randomizer plugin in Reaper does the same thing. I love playing around with it...
Experimentation is brilliance beyond imagination. How wonderful to invigorate all the senses in so many creative ways.
Imagine if Eno and Aphex Twin did a collab.
oh yes please
discorobotification would live to listen to that
discorobotification that would be quite nice to listen to
They did
...funnily enough, I don't think it'd work. Be too much like the irresistable force meeting the immovable object! ;-)
Groove at 17:29 just waow it is really great. Is it released in that version?
Wow! Learn something new, every day.
Love B. Eno. Groovy artist/musician.
Checking out the app now.
He's a genius he has had his fingers in so many of my favorite songs from so many people,
searching for origins of Windows 95 startup sound brought me to discover a person, who is so incredibly extraordinary. Completely out of this world. His music.. so flowing, so merging. Truly discovered a new gem. In fact it was 1 AM.. guess the best ideas come past midnight lol xD
Brian you've just defined the essence of why Science is so endless while at the same time Art can be so do-able.
18:20 heads into some Autechre territory
He's just a humble guy. Incredibly talented artist and intelligent. I also admire his activism. Good man.
The Scripters he is using are all native to Logic!!!!! You can all do it now if you have the Software!!!! (Under MIDI effects)
Searched for Scripters in Logic ProX help..nothing comes up?
midi effect> scripter. The actual scripts he's useing are custom.
Cheers
Is there similar midi effects for ableton?
@@ODDJOHNOFFICIAL I'm interested in Ableton as well. Maybe a VST can work. Any experts?
17:50 “when Brian Eno discovered Autechre”
This man looks timeless.
Frank Ocean spotted at 0:09
Are you saying he's a 'potato like object'?!
Scenius!
wow excellent very interessting great guy !
Brian has the ability to rouse my interest in subjects I would have assumed hold little appeal. He would have made a terrific teacher.
Does eno have music released that sounds like what he was playing on the computer in this video? So sick
amazing how Brian didn't use his voice enough during those awesome years ...what he did use during those times were great baby on fire and needle camels eye was the best
The master at work. Loved watching this.
Brian Eno and I use the same MIDI controller... that makes me feel particularly special.
Fascinating. An artist in every sense of the word
Fantastic! I finally got to see what his little speakers were about. Nice interview boys.
does someone know the name of the software eno uses? . minute 10 aprox
The humble genius of sound.
Such wonderful
Insights into his way of creating
Wow....just..wow!
My artistic hero! A true genius. If they aren't studying him in art schools n 150 years, it is really the end of western civilization.
So incredibly cool.
I never would’ve thought that I’d want Brian Eno to DJ at my party.
Love everything about this. Also we seem to have a lot of similar ideas, that's cool.
Anyone have a link where to purchase those speakers?
Brian is one of a kind
That was a beautiful 30 minutes of blur.
I'd like to have a set of those idea cards. Great stuff.
There are free Oblique Strategies apps. Simple and very useful.
You can buy them from Eno Shop or eBay etc
there are web apps out there for viewing them, and physical cards, and smartphone apps too.
Make your own!
There is a lot of value to be gained here, nice
We have to protect this man at all cost!
Eno is all about capturing naturally occurring sonic beauty and getting out of the way as it’s happening.👍
Hey, does anyone know what music program Eno uses?
Logic Pro X
@@RichardPJohnMusic Cheers!
Brilliant! So glad there's a Brian Eno! He's kinda smart, huh?
I love a whole variety of music and am not particularly patriotic, but Brian Eno, Imogen Heap, Jamie xx /xx and bat for lashes all make me a proud brit 👌
Are there any vst plugins which do this type of random midi change up?
Anyone know what program Brian Eno is using here?
22:46 definitely thought the interviewer just swiped the cards XD until I realized that's his phone
Some real gems in there
someone please tell me what he is doing in logic with those variations and percentages of change! Thank you!
answered my own question :)
ruclips.net/video/LOU3qI0M4ag/видео.html
what are the studio monitors enos using? anyone recognize?
Is one of those cameras a Panasonic AF 100!
Eno surrenders enthusiasticallyto his interests, and thereby constantly grows as an artist.
Brian coming with that heat 🔥
Dear Brian Eno…Thank you for being who you are
This kind of software is rampant these days, even on iPads, where musicians can create music while having a coffee in a coffee shop. There are more and more programmers doing this kind of thing in various ways with various interfaces. It's so much fun.
The way of the future, now he have to find a way to break the technology and break those rules along with it
Thank you for this.
What is the name of the keyboard he’s using?
interviewer /homework /lucky / interesting /hypnotic. and special thanks to the BBC. love from Canada.
Odd seeing his studio like this, but can imagine the work that goes into making such classic albums.

17:29 why is this beat not on the recent U2 records!!!
Lovely man, inspirational work and message...and a great interview, some really good questions, a good counterpart to the Arena documentary.
I do wonder if there is supposed to be an irony in him talking about humanising work and allowing errors in the system when this is shot and edited so badly? Even for the lower production bar of RUclips, the out of focus, shaky and different looking cameras are jarring. At least they got the sound good, I guess - although rather quiet at the start.
And all from the BBC who SHOULD know better!
and interviewer is useless, yet he probably is famous and works there for years
Anyone spot what music software that was?
10:04 Raaga....how curious, he appreciates indian classical music to the point of applying its framework. Mad props!
I don't think it's possible to be a music genius without having a healthy affinity for Indian Classical.
ought to couple a heterskadiscity element to the markov chain for added stochasticity
Anybody see he has the BDC magazine?
@16:49 "Is anyone else doing this? " Pretty sure I did it on a Casio keyboard my mum got me in 1987.
