Touring is a strange beast. It's hours of loneliness -- spent in anonymous and generic airports, restaurants, backstage waiting rooms and hotel rooms -- punctuated by moments of extreme excitement, spent playing music in front of thousands of adoring, rabid fans. "Touring is all contrasts and strangeness," electronic musician Moby explains, "and that's what I'm trying to convey in these pictures." The 55 photographs in his new book, Destroyed, out May 17th, which comes with a copy of his new album of the same name, features 55 photographs taken by Moby while on tour. The book is a companion to the album, written from the road, mostly late at night, and "a soundtrack for empty cities at 2 a.m." Tonight, Moby-philes in New York should head to Clic Gallery for an opening featuring an exhibit of said photos, and tomorrow, he'll be at the Brooklyn Museum, chatting with John Schaefer, host of WNYC's Soundcheck and New Sounds. Check out the above selection of photos from Destroyed.
