Decided to answer some questions you might have. And these are questions that fans asked me . . . of course . . . not questions I made up . . .
Q: What is the name of your album?
A: Vivid, which I think is a great name for an album if you look up the definition.
Q: How can I buy your album?
A: Click this link and make the transaction. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=807482307
Q: I like fast and energetic music. Which song from the album would I like most?
A: Hunting is very fast and energetic. Bubbles is even faster, but I think that Hunting is just overall a better song.
Q: I like slow songs that you can listen to before you go to sleep. Which song from the album would I like most?
A: Silver Lightning Linings has a nice mix between slow and fast, it's energetic, but also soft and soothing. It's really an interesting song. But Sunset (Piano Only) is slower and sounds really nice as well.
Q: I like songs with electric guitars. Which song from the album would I like most?
A: You would like Descending most. Despite the slow beginning, it picks up and if you listen with headphones on, you should be able to hear distorted guitars and riffs.
Q: I like creepy or ominous-sounding songs. Which song from the album would I like most?
A: Echoes from the Attic. The title says it all.
Q: Why do you want me to buy your album?
A: To be honest, I'm trying to make a career out of this music thing . . . I really enjoy it and every penny that is profit helps.
Q: Are there going to be any music videos for the songs on your album?
A: I will soon be uploading the music video for Bubbles, which is funny and kind of cool. And I might upload a music video for Echoes from the Attic. I also want to upload a music video for Hunting, but I haven't come up with anything that's not gruesome yet.
That's it for the Q and A. Maybe next time people who aren't me can make the questions.
I mean what.
Alright, bye :)

Q and A #3
A third one. So be sure to check out the other two.
So, I read on multiple websites, I mean I'm so smart that I figured I should interact with my listeners by, you know, telling them about myself. So, these are questions that people seem to ask musicians a lot, I mean . . . questions that my loyal fans took the time to ask me.
Q: Do you get nervous before a performance or a competition?
A: I get just a little nervous, but I walk out onto the stage confidently and once I start playing, I'm just comfortable. I like to perform, because I like to show people the one thing I'm good at.
Q: How do you handle a mistake during a performance?
A: On the outside, I shake my head, ever so slightly. On the inside, I kick myself and throw a tantrum and shout, "GAHHHHH!"
Q: What advice would you give to beginning pianists?
A: Unless your name is Mozart, it is going to take a long time to actually not sound like a penguin being strangled by an octopus.
Q: How did you come up with your stage name?
A: I like the world "perspective" and noticed that "electric" sounded somewhat similar.
Q: How do you balance your music with other obligations?
A: I don't do much outside of music. I don't have annoying kids to look after, I don't have any love-life whatsoever, school comes pretty easy, so I don't study often, I don't do sports, I haven't joined any clubs and I have very few friends who are also introverts so we don't hang out much . . . But, there is one thing.
I have to balance music with my cat. We're best friends, but she's not allowed in the studio, she wants to sit on my lap when I play the guitar, and . . . it's hard.
Q: What was your first and second instrument?
A: My first instrument was the piano. When I was young, I had a really small toy keyboard, attached to a book. There were no names for the keys, just colors. So, it was a play by color piano book. Anyway, I played around with that for a while and eventually asked my parents if I could actually learn how to play an actual piano. A few years later . . . here I am.
My second instrument was technically the recorder, but that's boring, so, guitar. My dad had an electric guitar and I picked one up one day and asked for an acoustic one. I paid for half of it and my parents made up the rest. I can play chords, but because when I first started learning I wanted to make my own songs, I can only play chords.
Q: What instruments do you want to learn to play in the future?
A: The harp. The banjo. The lute. The charango. The gusle. The lyre. And many, many more.
I should probably go to sleep, now. That might be a good idea.
I'll edit the post in the morning, possibly. So if something doesn't look right, just ignoreit.

Electric Q and A #2
I decided to continue the Q and A. I got a nice amount of questions.
Q: What does your single cover look like?
A:
Q: What does your single cover look like?
A:
Q: Where do I go to listen to your music?
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: I have two cats, but if a pet is an animal that loves you, then I have one pet.
Q: How old are you?
A: About 407435864 seconds
Q: Why don't you have a facebook?
A: Because . . .
Q: Who did your single artwork?
A: . . . I am really surprised that I was asked this. I thought it was pretty clear. It was made on paint and it looks terrible. I made it.
Q: What is one thing that really annoys you?
A: . . . umm . . . oh, I know. Easy open products. You know when you buy something and it says "Easy open." It never is. I once had to try and tear with my hands, then use scissors, then use bigger scissors, then use a knife, then use a saw to open up something I had bought at the store that said "Easy open." And I hate plastic packaging in general.
Q: When will your album come out?
A: If I get a song done every three days, get the cover art done in one day, and have all of the distribution handled in a week, it would come out around the 27th of January.
That's enough questions for today. I have to go back to the studio and record a song called Echoes from the Attic. See you sometime in the future, and thanks for the questions.
Electric Q and A
I haven't gotten any questions on the blog, (but you can ask as many as you want I don't bite) but I have gotten some questions on other sites that I decided to answer here.
Q: Who are your influences?
A: Paramore, the Beatles, The Paper Melody, Adora, and pretty much every classical composer.
Q: What is your favorite instrument to play?
A: The piano, just because it's the one instrument that when I play it, it doesn't sound like a dying walrus choking on a chainsaw. And the ukulele, just because it's simple and pretty.
Q: What is the hardest instrument to play?
A: The violin and drums. The violin is just plain difficult, but the drums are a different story. I have great rhythm, but not when holding drumsticks. Also, it might help if I owned a drum set.
Q: Why do you want to be a musician?
A: I have a very long explanation for this . . .
I don't want to be worried at the end of high school wondering what kind of college I'm going to go to. I don't want to study something I don't enjoy. I don't want to work for twenty+ years in a job I absolutely despise every day with the crappy coworkers who think they're better than me, the boss who doesn't listen to me, and a cubicle with walls that feel like they're closing in. I don't want to have a mid-life crisis and try to make up for it by spending all of my money and losing my family, which will then lead to an emotional breakdown. I just want to become a musician so that I can avoid a good bit of that.
Q: What is your favorite anime, if you watch anime?
A: Death Note. All the way.
Q: What is your favorite color?
A: Black . . . because I'm a happy and cheery person.
Q: Do you sing?
A: How do I put this . . . ah, yes. I consider the voice to be a delicate instrument. But my instrument is out of tune, missing three strings, and it scares children.
Also, I had a speech problem when I was younger and it hasn't gone away completely, so I have to talk and sing slowly or else nobody will be able to understand me.
Q: What is your favorite quote?
A: "Depression is like trying to peel a potato with another potato. It doesn't work, it makes you angry, and it makes you want to cry." -Anonymous
I don't think that's entirely how it goes, but you get the idea.
I had a few more questions but this post is getting quite long, so we'll stop here.
Alright. Bye . . .
