SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I often feel like performing is some sort of shamanism. Performing is frenzied. Sexual. It frees people for a while. I induce that by going into a trance, really, which is why I like to be almost unconscious. I don't want to meet someone's eye in the audience, because that brings you back to consciousness. And I like to be out, to appear like a man on the edge, like a man who has pushed himself too far... that is when the audience really gets sucked in."
