What role does your computer play in your music and your career?
MY EVERYTHING. On the cover of my first release, the tape Tallinn at Dawn, there is a webcam pic of me in my old flat in Tallinn. I’m looking out to the world. After this, I started making music on my computer. Sent an email to my label, Not Not Fun. Now I am touring and actually seeing the world. It is nice.
