"We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience"

About this Quote

This quote by Brian Eno speaks to the universality of background music in our lives. We are continuously surrounded by music, whether it remain in stores, dining establishments, or other public places. Nevertheless, this music is often overlooked and not provided the same attention as music composed for concerts or albums. Eno recommends that this music, which makes up 30% of our musical experience, is not provided the same factor to consider as other kinds of music. He implies that composers should take the time to write music particularly for these modern-day areas, as it is a big part of our musical experience. This quote talks to the importance of acknowledging the music that is typically considered granted in our lives. It is a pointer to value the music that is often neglected and to recognize its influence on our lives.
