I do this sort of thing where, even for my own shows, I like to supply my own fingerprint of creativity. Not just ideas, technical things: offering model data, creating visuals for my stage show myself, babysitting renders, learning that technology as I go. That’s what makes me feel like an artist.

I’m a video game enthusiast. I love video games! They were a huge part of my upbringing in their early form, when I was all about ‘Dig Dug’ and ‘River Raid.’ As they evolved, so did my music-making, and we just kind of grew up together like cool friends. Deadmau5 Read Quote
Usually, companies, when they approach other people to do VR, they’re like, ‘We’re gonna offer a virtual reality experience’ – to me, that usually means they’re gonna put a bunch of 360° cameras in a room, film something, and wrap the video in a sphere so you can head-track and look around. To me, that’s not virtual reality. That’s 360° video. Deadmau5 Read Quote
Going out and being nice to the world at large doesn’t make me feel good, so I replace that with things, with technology that does get me excited and does get my brain spinning, until one day it stops spinning, and then you can bury me. Deadmau5 Read Quote
I do get freaked out sometimes. I have kids hop my fence, get into my back yard, and just start screaming at me. Deadmau5 Read Quote
