Recently, and ironically, I have been reading a lot of articles that have been interviewing the top concert organizers/promoters in our country. These men are brains and bronze behind the Coachella Music and Arts Festival and the Electric Daisy Carnival. They are responsible for being the taste makers to our generation’s musical influences, culture crafters, and showing us the future of art, by ways of large scale art installations and light shows. In the two separate interviews, both of the concert organizers had a similar recipes to the way they’ve gave into the forever evolving nature of our generation’s taste buds.

How did you get into this kinda stuff??
Last year my dad gave me a gift certificate and I got a t-shirt with a graphic equalizer. It was fun, but I wanted to do something better with lights and built my first color organin August. Unsatisfied with that, I modified it and started trying other kits. A friend suggested I get into lasers, so I built my first laser show in January of this year. YouTube has been a source of inspiration and education, plus I add my own ideas into the mix.
So, from what I understand, you will be performing under the name, Electro Ghost. And correct me if I’m wrong but Electro Ghost is a two member group… a DJ and you, the lights guy, is this right? If so, can you give me your DJ’s name and both of your backgrounds?
That’s a good summary, but we both do a lot more. Darius (the DJ) writes music on the computer, makes mash-ups, plays guitar, piano, synthesizer, bass, and occasionally experiments with circuits like me. I (Perry) do a little music such as keyboard, vocals, bass guitar, and experimental guitar/bass sound processing. I also do a little song-writing but very simple in comparison to some of Darius’s songs. Most of what I’ve learned about music has been in the last 2 years.
