Moby has responded to the statements of King’s wool about his impressive memory after he detailed an encounter the two had in his memoir. In his work Then It Fell Apart In 2019, the composer revealed that he had dated the artist, known at the time as Lizzy Grantbefore she achieved fame.
The book details a date at a vegan restaurant in 2006 and how the night ended with the two sharing a kiss in Moby’s five-story New York penthouse. “She was beautiful, intelligent and charming”wrote about the “Summertime Sadness” singer.
Del Rey, who found out what the musician said, he later confirmed the meeting in an interview with The New York Times, expressing amazement at Moby’s ability to remember that moment in detail. “I don’t know how he remembers it. You must have a mind like a steel trap. I don’t even remember what was happening. “I think I was a backup singer and I opened for people and yes, we had a date.”
As described Moby In a recent interview with Stereogum, has a method of remembering scenes in detail, which helps him significantly when writing his memoirs. However, he also admitted that memory can be fallible and subject to personal interpretation, stating that she would not lose sleep if some “divine entity” proved his memories incorrect.
“When writing memoirs, I am quite skilled at remembering scenes and constructing an environment.. It’s a tool that I learned, you start with one thing and you build. If you can remember the shoes you were wearing, then you think, ‘What pants was he wearing? What was the light like? What was the furniture like?’ Immediately, it is like a mnemonic waterfall,” explained the artist.
The American producer continued: “Many studies have been done on memory and, as we all know, memory is very fallible. That is why eyewitness testimony is almost always discarded.” To this he added: “Memory is, by definition, subjective.”
This comment comes after Moby He also stated in his book that he had dated Natalie Portmanwhich she adamantly denied, calling the brief time shared an awkward experience with an older man.
“I was surprised that he described the very brief time I knew him as courtship, because My memory is of a man much older than me being creepy with me. when I had just graduated from high school,” said Portman, remembered for her roles in The black swan and the saga Star Wars.
Before these statements, Moby again responded through an Instagram post. “I recently read a gossip article in which Natalie Portman said that we had never dated,” the musical artist said on his social networks. “This confused me, since we were, in fact, dating. And after dating briefly in 1999 we remained friends for years,” he explained.
Despite the misunderstanding, the music producer later publicly apologized for not having informed the people involved about his inclusion in the book. “I greatly admire Natalie, for her intelligence, creativity and activism in favor of animal rights, and I hate that I could have caused distress to her and her family,” said the producer.
“I also accept that, given the dynamics of our almost 14 years age difference, I should have acted with more responsibility and respect when Natalie and I met almost 20 years ago,” Moby added more specifically.
Last month it was announced that Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied They officially ended their 11-year marriage. The 42-year-old actress had filed for divorce eight months ago in France, a country in which the couple lived with their two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, seven.
