And...

I remember the whole first wave of that democratization of like music software being available and accessible and the barriers to entry coming down and all of us being able to make stuff that we weren't able to create before we gave, unless we had like access to a crazy studio.

And I remember everyone saying that that wasn't real music.

I mean, here we are like 15 years later, us and all our friends have had massive songs that have been culturally impactful that play huge shows that tons of people come and have a good time too.

And

listen to music that make them feel euphoria or sadness or something amazing it's like the still same impact of music has happened because a different set of tools i'm excited to see what happens next and i'm excited to use those tools or for my kids to use those tools and to see how that enables people might not be able to express themselves with this medium

Who knows?

I can't answer that question yet and hopefully not, to be honest.

I think what we're all going to have to, and not just us who are established, we have our way of making music.

And then I think what it does is actually kind of the opposite.

It's like it just allows more people to be able to make music and perform music and create an experience that other people connect to.

I think music is just my personal favorite form of self-expression.

With these tools, I'd assume that more people are going to be able to experience being able to express themselves that way.

And that's awesome.

and perform it and you can kind of look at the dj as like a microcosm blip on the radar of a version of more accessibility what that gets you but you look at how big the scene is and how fun the scene is now it's like how is that a bad thing how does it feel the most different now creating a marginal new song versus when you started what is the most felt creative process difference

I would say that's less technological.

It's more my own brain that I'm still trying to reckon with.

Songwriting is you're always trying to scratch this.

It's not the same itch, but there is an itch.

You're trying to satiate.
