Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I'd say I've been actively developing my musical abilities over the past year.5 with my primary project, now known as Flatline Skyline (formerly Mutemath). Most of the material we've done thus far is instrumental, and I wanted to begin doing music with vocals, as well as working within a certain idea which had been sort of dormant. Robert and I have about 5 albums and a shitload of random stuff as FS, and I've done quite a bit of stuff alone, some of which went into that project. Now I'm a state or two away and have no gear, so I this project, so far, involves an old synth, a wave editor, and my voice.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, no I don't. I've played some people my songs, and that all happened, you know, live in my room. Or live in someone else's room. In the future I plan to play my music from CDs or MP3s in front of people who are alive in various rooms as the chance arises.
