creating scary scary-things
I like creating beauty out of scary things.
order want moral
I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.
few guess love meme quality truly
I truly love 'Gangnam Style.' I guess it's a meme. I feel like it's one of the few times where the meme and the quality combines nicely.
art easy empty industry music spaces
There used to be a lot of industry in Montreal, and now there's not, so it's really easy to get huge, empty spaces where you can practice and make music or make art for very, very cheap.
bad
The thing is, I really like working. If I sit around too much, I get really bad anxiety.
art funny obviously
It's obviously funny to be a meme, so I could be down with it in that regard, but it also belittles one's art.
record
I want to make an a cappella record to release for free.
aspect definitely
There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.
experience music musical people
I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.
It's interesting to be a front person who is controlling the majority of the sound.
good
I'm not good at being, like, a sexy girl.
art good
I think if you're good at art, you'll be good at most types of art.
I like to aestheticize every possible thing that can be aestheticized.
My set can get really screamo and aggressive, or it can be ambient and Enya-esque.
