BRASKY:: You’ve been active in the scene for a while, before the emergence of genres often attributed with your music. How would you describe your music?
MOCHIPET: I’ve been asked this many times and it’s really hard to explain my music with words. I often find that words don’t accurately describe music. Maybe that’s why there is music. And I guess that’s why I became a musician and not a writer. I’m sorry I think they best way to understand my music is to listen to it. Here is my discography if you have the time. =) http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mochipet.
BRASKY:: What was the “weirdest” gig you’ve ever played?
MOCHIPET: I’ve definitely played many weird gigs. but I think the one that pops to mind most recently was for a wedding reception of a couple that feel in love during my performance at a camp out this summer. This is not necessarily weird at all but, this couple feel in love during my set and decided to get married because of it. So they wrote me this really sweet email and asked me to play their reception. It was really crazy. They basically told me they were getting married because of me and the circumstance that put them in a space where they realized they loved each other. That was really inspiring to me. I had no idea my music could make people fall in love and get married.
BRASKY:: How often do you modify your hardware and software arrangements for production and shows? What are your oldest and newest devices or programs?
MOCHIPET: I modify my arrangements all the time. I don’t know if you can tell from my music but I kind of have an ADD syndrome. So I’m always switching stuff up and changing things. for now I’m pretty much using Ableton Live for all my Live performances but for local shows I like to bring in more live instrumentation and other musicians. I hope to one day bring this out to the road but the cost factor has held me back. But once I get a bigger budget I’m sure it’s possible.
BRASKY:: What are some of the most memorable musical experiences for you?
MOCHIPET: Hmmmm. There are a lot but I think seeing Pink Floyd on the The Wall Tour was one of them for sure. The magnitude of the stage show was incredible and the music was right on cue.
BRASKY:: We love remixes and notice that you do a lot of them, what inspires your
ideas for them? What do you think is one of your most fun/best remixes?MOCHIPET: Right now my favorite remixes I have done are MISSILL – Invincible and Far East Movement – Like a G6. I know the latter has been rather over played on radio but I had to get some azn representation in there! I usually do remixes for Fun. To put another spin on things. Make em pop out again. To get an idea you can listen to my Combat album if you get a chance. It’s all remixes with some scrabble thrown in for good measure as well!
