Everyday life, the desire to create my own world to live in. Stress.

Sonic Youth – EVOL

Rainbo Club – best bar in North America.
6. If there was no music in the world, what would you do instead?
The only other thing I do that I feel similarly to as I do about music is graphic design, maybe I’d figure out how to actually do that instead of treating it more like a hobby.

Tomaga: Music for Visual Disorders 2015 – 2017

Probably Fugazi in 1994, In On The Killtaker tour.
10. How important is technology to your creative process?
It’s pretty important, all the solo stuff I do revolves around modular synths. But the limitations on how I know how to use them dictates the way the music comes out so it’s hard to say what’s the real driver there.
11. Do you have siblings and how do they feel about your career/art?
I have a twin sister, she’s supportive but unimpressed haha.
The new Brian Case LP “Plays Artificial Paradise” is out via Hands in the Dark.
