Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III: “Time Dysmorphia”
This is an interview with someone close to Cornelius, recorded via phone on 7 May 2020.
We are also a part of the They Might Be Giants Dial-a-Song Network! This week’s TMBG DAS is, “I Love You For Psychological Reasons.”
Topics Include:
Listening experiences, Cornelius’ style, the philosophical approach, Formadehydra, the change over time of the diversity of performers, Hobby Knife, the Internet, & Tom Furgus.

The concept of “time dysmorphia” really resonates, especially the idea of how our listening experiences warp our perception of passing moments. It makes me consider how a single song can feel like an entire era when you’re deeply absorbed in it.
