These are words by another musician and artist named Brian Eno sampled by Erick Arc Elliott on the third track of “Arcstrumentals: Vol 1” which is titled “Gold Wrap”
I think one of the things that art offers you is the chance to surrender
The chance to not be in control any longer
In our culture most of the encouragement is to take control
What we like doing is surrendering and that’s the reason we enjoy sex, and drugs, and art, and religion
They’re really all ways of losing me; they’re ways of losing yourself
One of the things I want music to do is to offer people the chance to surrender
Everything good proceeds from enthusiasm
The big mistake is to wait for inspiration, it won’t come looking for you
It’s not so much creating something, I think, it’s noticing when something is starting to happen
I like the thrill of being somewhere where I know nobody else has been
The feeling of standing, looking at something that nobody has ever seen before
Some people are more ready to make use of the opportunities that come up than others
Recording was a way of painting with sound
Similarly, distortion is character, basically
Perfection to me is characterlessness
Gold Wrap was written by Brian Eno.
