He looks like shit and has no idea what he is doing with what is presumably (??) 6 figures worth of bleeps and bloops in a fucking coffee shop doing Siddartha for 8 hours.
Is he getting meta with the fact that he takes both his music and himself so seriously that we could conceivably believe he was serious about this too, despite it being so stupid?

"My hope is to embark on a musical journey; not in song, mind you, but by exploring the textural space that lay behind this powerful, emotive prose; and like so many glimmerings in the mind's eye, capture that which is ever-changing, but still." The other side, emblazoned with a vaguely Middle-Eastern logo, beckons: "Relax. Drink tea."

Billy is, as ever, kneeling before his mound of electronics. If he's listening to the book, he's doing a good job of hiding it. If he's only pretending to be totally flummoxed by his DSP4000, his MAQ 16/3, his TAPCO 4400, et cetera et cetera, he's doing a masterful job.

"Another quick thing, despite the howls of protest, I plan on doing this every few months."
"I've reached out to the Kerouac estate about doing On the Road. Any questions before we disassemble?"

Not saying it is, but a handout (!!) including the phrase "textural space"...
Is it so relentlessly pretentious and stupid as to be parody?
