I'm not surprised that he did this, but he's not a jerk. He just
seems really shy. I had the pleasure of interviewing him a couple
years back for Loopz magazine (Orbital zine) and he was obviously
uncomfortable talking with about 6 people at once, he doesn't like
press crap. But once I started asking him specific questions about
obscure stuff he perked up a bit. He still spoke quite softly
though, and didn't show much emotion. Hated it when I asked to take
his photo for the mag. Cool guy, though, and great music.
He even remembered me (or was polite enough to pretend to, ha ha)
about a year later when he was at Coachella and I pestered him again
about a track he hadn't released made from sounds recorded on the
Brooklyn Bridge - he said that the name of it was "Anchorage" and
that it's around as an mp3, but I can't find it. Does anyone here
have it?
Just wanted to say that he seems nice enough all around, just
massively shy, so you shouldn't take his shyness personally enough to
get tweaked about.

paradinas after his show here earlier in the year, and he only just barely
acknowledged my prescence. pretty big blow off. it kind of tweaked me a
bit, but his set was pretty good and i'd see him again.
