Agreed. Really fascinating.

“It’s getting harder to sit in silence concentrating on the same repetitive motion. I didn’t expect it to be so intense. After two days, my back, neck, elbows and wrists all started to hurt. I’ve been taking painkillers daily since the second week.”

This is definitely going to take a toll on the artist. Hopefully he can keep at it and take his performance on the road like planned.
