I do have some weeks coming up in the summer where I will actually be in my house, and I love working on new music and all of that.
Girl Talk

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.

I've been cataloguing samples for years, I have this massive library. Songs come out everyday so it's never ending.

In the past, hearing music had more value.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.
Girl Talk

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

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.

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.
Girl Talk
Image
I'd been to a lot of shows and I was just tired of people being jaded about music in general. Just a lot of pretensions, a lot of the attitude that goes along with it was a little difficult for me to deal with.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.
Girl Talk
Image
Samples are kind of my instrument of choice.
Girl Talk
Image
I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.
Girl Talk
Image
I'm interested in branching out and seeing where my music goes.
Girl Talk

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.
Girl Talk
Image
I've grown up playing pop music for the experimental crowd and I always feel like I'm pushing something weird on people. I had this underdog feeling. It's crazy that all of a sudden I'm the overhyped band you read about on the blogs.

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.
