In modern recording one of the biggest problems is that you’re in a world of endless possibilities.
So I try to close down possibilities early on.
I limit choices.
I confine people to a small area of manoeuvre.
There’s a reason that guitar players invariably produce more interesting music than synthesizer players: you can go through the options on a guitar in about a minute, after that you have to start making aesthetic and stylistic decisions.
This computer can contain a thousand synths, each with a thousand sounds.
I try to provide constraints for people.
—Brian Eno
