"I don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing"

Malcolm Wilson's quote speaks to the value of credibility in music. He thinks that recordings need to not be drastically various from the artist's performance, as this would be deceitful. He utilizes himself as an example, keeping in mind that although he is not an excellent singer, he could make himself seem like one if he invested enough time tweaking his vocals. Nevertheless, he selects not to do this, and rather permits his recordings to show his true singing ability. This quote highlights the value of remaining real to oneself and one's art, and not trying to be something one is not. It likewise speaks to the power of music, and how it can be used to reveal one's true self.
