On invisibility
Welpeo has never published a photograph. He has never appeared on a stage under his own name. He has never confirmed or denied the scope of his catalogue. This is not modesty — it is method.
"A face gives the listener permission to stop listening. I want no face. I want only the song."

He said he didn't remember starting it."
