this reminds me of the symbolism of the lotus flower in indian spirituality, which transforms filthy shit into a beautiful flower. it's a reminder of exactly what brian eno is talking about. Great words
What great words. What great words. These guys have made some completely fantastic artwork - and yet they pull back the curtain, humbly and gernerously, and said "dude.... you can do this." YOU!.... can do this. Just a flip of a thoght. Erasing the line of grandeur so many hide behind, eye level they invite us over. May that seed germinate in our hearts, out of nothing...
Yeah except Beethoven was never unpromising. If anything, he failed fully to fulfil his promise, with his several long depression-induced creative dry-spells. Mozart, likewise, was ever promising, and always delivered (though not to the acclaim we now give him), until he died at 35: the most promising talent never fully realised. Same with Schubert. These people were never unpromising, and their music did not come from nowhere, it came from unique talent and a great deal of lifelong dedication.
