But what Moby is seeking to do is celebrate the good feelings you experience within music by becoming the music in this world. Moby doesn't want to just create music, he'd much rather BE it. And maybe, if you feel good enough, you'll want to be it too. And when we're all transformed into music in this world, then, just maybe, we can celebrate the now of things. Maybe he can dance it into you.
Transcendence is a good word.
That's what he's really looking for. I could tell, even at the photo shoot before the interview, that Moby is impatient with having to be a human getting his photo taken and getting interviewed, when he's really about the feeling of music, not the business end of it. As he posed for the photos he remained calm and posed in the camera frame, but his nervous energy was betrayed by his fidgety tapping feet. Moby, in spite of his status as crown prince of the dance scene, had often talked about leaving its parameters. I remembered reading a letter he's written to a dance music magazine, URB, talking about the reasons he wanted to leave the world of dance music.
