I might be wrong, but I am pretty sure that he is the only person to ever interview Burial [1]. Another person he was very interested in, and was certainly right about in terms of their artistic merit is Leyland Kirby aka The Caretaker, who in a very different way manifests Fisher's ideas about hauntology [2].

- wahnfrieden 5y agoSeveral interviews exist
- futureproofd 5y agoThere's also this common obsession around Burial with music geeks that he (Burial) was so mysterious that no one ever knew who he was, or that he never gave interviews (except to M.F.), which is obviously wrong. There's lots of info on him, similarly to Aphex Twin. I think the lack of media presence is more about intentionally avoiding crap that comes with it.
- beepbooptheory 5y agoI agree. I mean in that interview he talks about being a kind nervous/asocial guy. I think Richard has said similar things. Do not blame them at all. And when you can music like they can, you can get away with letting the songs speak for themselves.
- jamal-kumar 5y agoWeren't they both in the CCRU?
- grp 5y agoYes, I believe or they met at the Warwick university. edit: with Kode9 too, https://mitpress.mit.edu/contributors/steve-goodman https://mitpress.mit.edu/contributors/steve-goodman
