I've been approached about doing some live performance collaborations with DJ's. That is something I'd be interested in getting into down the line, but I've worked very hard to distinguish myself as a laptop artist.

I like to use recognizable songs, but other than that, this song would be perfect.

I always like the people who keep moving forward, but kind of stay in their own lane.

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and listen to music in order to try to find something to work with.

You can write very obtuse and abstract lyrics, and if they want to, people are going to find something amazing that you're saying.

In 2008 it's easy to get huge before you have an album out with the Internet. I think that's great and you see a lot of artists like that. It seems like it's becoming rarer to find a band that has been touring for six years, doing small shows and then breaking out.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.
