We're the one species that is out of touch with nature.

Out of harmony.

We're out of harmony.

And we're, you know, I hope it's not by destroying humans is the only way to save planet Earth.

Yeah.

Yeah.

My favorite one is How to Serve Man and you find out at the end, don't go on that rocket ship, don't take off.

It's a cookbook.

It's like when the Mellotron first came out and the American Federation of Musicians sent out letters to everybody and said,

fellow musicians do not use a Mellotron, you know, taking away work from violinists and flute players and horn players.

And the reality is the thing never sounds, you know, it was true, it was recordings of real instruments, but every time a violinist plays a note, you know, it's different.

They're breathing different.

Their heart's beating different.

The temperature is different in the room.

And every single one sounds slightly different.

And people notice that stuff.

So my feeling is that it'll be, for a while, it'll be a novelty.

And there will be ways to use it to give people more power that are writing music, for instance.

Wait, sounds like it.

I am, yeah.
