ALSO KNOWN AS: APLM / Maria
POISON: Post Pop Melancholia Revival. Kidding! Seriously — Synthpop, Pop, Folk, R&B, Hip Hop, Trip Hop. Still, willing to try any genre at least once.
WEAPON/S OF CHOICE: A Seagull S6+ Spruce dreadnought acoustic guitar, a Beyerdynamic Opus 29 S dynamic microphone, an M-Audio Fast Track USB interface, a Tennessee Kilauea soprano ukulele, and a Hohner melodica soprano. Oh, also Audacity and (rarely) Reason.
KNOWN ASSOCIATES: Almost Technicolor, HarlotHero (with Across Oceans), Hifi Banjo Strings, KLV, mattir, Prosthetic Leg, Radio Wire Empire, Sebastien Z., Snailhead, Viktor Disque, Wandering Mayor, and Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack.
CLAIM TO FAME: I think it would be Decompose (with Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack), or “Dear Professor” from The Hai’s Pop Songs.
RUMOR HAS IT: Well, next up Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack and I are releasing Recompose: Remixed Songs From Decompose! Also, a still untitled Across Oceans EP drops February 29; and my first solo album, 99 Problems and Maria is 1, drops April 20.
