I have my small little cult following, I play random shows from house parties to opening up for rock bands.
Girl Talk
Image
I wasn't trying to make a following. I was just trying to make interesting music. That's not being modest, that's just being realistic.

Girl Talk
Image
I'll put out an album, and people review it, and some people love it, and some people tear it apart. By nature of the project, I've always wanted this to be something where people react strongly to it.
Girl Talk
Image
When people come to my shows they know there is a distinct beginning and end. It's difficult for me to play for much more than an hour, so people kind of come out and treat it like a rock show. They're fiending and ready to dance.

I am always excited for gaps of time where I can actually hang out with my friends.

I use minimal software to make my music - a wav editor and a calculator for my beats to make sure everything falls on mathematical precision. If you were just mapping this out visually, it works by math. I guess it's slightly engineering influenced.

That's kind of a nostalgia thing. Nirvana was my first favorite band, in third or fourth grade. Then I got out of them. But one day in college a few buddies and myself all started listening to them again and it blew me away. They still stand out as my favorite band ever.

You can feel a little vulnerable when you see people tearing you apart on the internet or saying, It's the end of music. This guy is a total hack. I've read it all. But at the same time, even though I feel a little vulnerable with that, I do feel comfortable.

It's hard to play a laptop in the midst of band and have people want to buy your t-shirts and CD's.
Girl Talk
Image
It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.
Girl Talk
Image
I always like to borrow bits and pieces of things. There's a line between jumping on something that's happening and incorporating bits and pieces of it into my work.
Girl Talk
Image
The point has always been to make music, it's not like I've always been running a giant money making scheme.

Fair use is a part of United States copyright law. You don't know if it falls under fair use until you go to court. Someone has to sue you and then you have to challenge it.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

My dad's been one of those dads who loves showing newspaper articles to the neighbors.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.

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.
