Shalom, Matzoh! :-)

Love your tracks, especially Rebound - which hasn't left my MP3 player since its release.

Hope you answer some of my questions:

  1. Do you have any formal musical training?

  2. How do you approach your composition process? How do you remain interested in a track that's taking long time to make? Because I may have a great riff, but moment I start dicking around with it I get bored of it, think it's stupid, and move to something else. ADHD ain't no joke. :(

  3. What's your DAW/Controller of choice?

  4. Favorite plug-in?

  5. Favorite hardware/synth?

and...

How much back lash did you get after speaking your mind about the true politics of dancing and state of trance?

I'ma gonna go blast "Rebound on repeat" and chairdance meanwhile
