I don't remember explaining that I was making electronic music to anyone, but I don't remember anyone being curious about it, either.
Nicolas JaarBy the time I was a senior in high school, I was constantly with my headphones, just making music all the time. People were calling me a "musician", and I found that so weird.
Nicolas JaarSometimes, I get in a mindset where I don't like my own music. I hate yourself and my music because I'm doing it every day. I feel like a clown.
Nicolas JaarI really feel like I came out of the water when I graduated from college, because I wasn't really aware of what was going on. If certain people tried to take advantage of me or whatever, I never really realized it until I got out of school.
