The Strokes' Fab Moretti: Listening to music makes the listener a part of the artwork

The Strokes' drummer Fabrizio Moretti is also an artist. He shared some interesting thoughts to Consequence of Sound about how he sees arts and consuming of it: "There’s a difference between being an artist and actually fucking putting in the work”; “When you start crafting, you see that the work influences the rest of the work because of the sheer fact that you need to do well. I’m always working on two songs at the same time because if I don’t, I obsess on the details of one, and it fucks up"; "You go and you see a piece of art; you’re looking at it outside of you. When you listen to a song, the singer’s voice is being put together in your own head. The effort that you as the listener has is part of the artwork in a sense”.
