Hi Kishi! I'm a music major and amateur composer myself, and I just love hearing the gorgeous baroque-esque counterpoint in your music: How do you approach composing and putting together the many violin melodies looped in your songs?

What composers are your biggest influences?

Do you approach writing pop music differently from other artists, being a classical musician/virtuoso as well? For example, do you think about music theory when writing?

I saw you at the TLA in Philly and I'm going out to Jim Thorpe to see you again. That TLA show was easily the best live show I've ever been to! Your full band is fantastic, Tall Tall Trees is the man!

That's so cool. Hahaha fugues are one of my favorite types of pieces to listen to but they seem so brutal to write... I'm working on a 4 part ricercar and finding it tricky! That method really makes sense, do you improvise the parts live as well or are they kinda set by the time you're on stage?

Awesome! That's a great list of composers! I feel like I can see a lot of impressionism in your music, especially in Lighght.

Well you, sir, have an excellent gut.
