Given your recent saga on the list, I'll leave someone else to leap on the
possible connotations of the word "admits" in the above sentence. ;-)
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I loved a quote I read from Tobin
where he said he refused to bring in live players when he was playing out.
He basically said that he wrote electronic music because he liked
electronic music, not because he didn't have the money to hire people to
play instruments for him. I take some inspiration from that idea.
Given that, I'd be absolutely baffled if he's since decided to play all the
parts of his tracks.

ps. I was disappointed to see that "artist" still carries connotations of
pretension and self-importance, after a good 80 years of art taking the
piss out of itself and attempting to dismiss the bourgeois idea of the artist.
