You Australian guys have your own way of speaking about music, you guys have your own way of enjoying music. You certainly have a very energised creative and cultural centre. Everyone I meet in Australia has a very unique soul... There's a lot of culture out there, and I meet a lot of nice people.
Mr. CarmackI think true originality is perpetual. It's always rolling along. True originality is not like this award or trophy you get if you do something weird. It's with you if you have it, and it's still rolling along somewhere, you just gotta go find it. It takes time to reach that point, and understand true originality... I think we all can find it.
Mr. CarmackI feel like the internet also affects originality a lot, because music is so easily shared nowadays, it seems like artists have collectively explored most of the grounds that music has to offer.
Mr. CarmackI think the key to really jumping out of that idea of saturation is longevity. I think that's the number one thing that allows artists to develop themselves more, is if they constantly do it. If you continue to put out consistently then your name will be known over a longer period of time.
Mr. CarmackSometimes artists can have the same sound, but they can give you a show that makes you see it in a completely different way.
Mr. CarmackHonestly, if you talk to a lot of artists that have either made it or have done something in music, chances are they'll tell you their family was in music too. Or one of their parents was in music. Or they had a fat record collection or something. Yeah, I owe everything to that.
