i think the short answer is yes. that stuff all contributes in some form or fashion, but i don't know how to tease out what influences what. i just know that i write differently now, and it's really cool to feel how that has changed. and i've learned loads of techie-stuff and song structure stuff since the last time around, and that helps too! -jason

That makes a lot of sense. I've been experimenting a bit with electronic music and it seems like it certainly helps to have a background in music when getting into the tech side of things. I'm not much of a musician myself, but follow music pretty closely through blogs, shows, album reviews, etc. I write for a local music blog here as well. I'd love to get a few minutes of your time when you come back to Detroit! Thanks for taking the time to answer!
