he sounds as dopey as he looks when he performs:

"I have this intense aversion to canned emotion, yet that’s exactly what recording is: a reconstituted, canned facsimile of a performance. I am determined to subvert this and perhaps that’s why I ascribe mystical/religious properties to microphones, tape machines record players — technology that still physically touches something else. Conversely, I regard computers as necessary but heretical and potentially corrupting collaborators."
