Full Interview with Style Magazines (QLD)
Q. Describe the path of Weakling so far (eg: when you started, highlights, low-lights etc…)
I started producing music in my bedroom a couple of years ago. I’ve now got an office/studio and heaps more experience under my belt.
Q. What instruments and/or equipment do you work with?
Software: Ableton Live and Reason
Hardware: Akai and Novation MIDI DJ controllers. I sometimes bring different types of guitars into tracks as well.

It’s electronic music, but specifically a combo of house, tech and beats.
Q. Do you perform only originals / remixes / covers?
I play live mixes of originals with borrowed tracks and other found sounds.
Q. Where does your musical inspiration come from?
Inspiration usually comes to me from trial and error. Sometimes you mess up while producing a track and it gives birth to a whole new direction/sound.

Anywhere from a few hours to a few months. I have 100+ half finished tracks and most will be abandoned or only partially used for new releases.

Resonating, Escalating, Self-Deprecating

Drinking way too much before a gig and messing up.

My dream gigs would be with motivational speaker Tony Robins or comedians Tim and Eric.

I have secret game-changing news in early 2015 but you can expect more remixes, singles and status updates about arm wrestling.
