There was this cereal, and it had a special promotion with a CD inside the box that had a really simple music-making program on it. I got it, and that opened my mind to being able to make music on a computer and seeing all the different layers. Flume boxcerealcomputer share on social
I know how to make a record that commercial radio or Triple J will smash now... It's kind of hard to stay true and write what you would write if you didn't have that in your head. Because I know I can get way more airplay and get this much bigger... and that's what I'm trying to avoid doing. Trying to avoid the poisons of success. Flume airplayavoidbig share on social
For me, one of the downfalls of electronic music is that it can feel a little soulless or robotic. Flume downfallelectronicfeel Change image and share on social

It's quite fun to mess with the human voice. It's quite special in the sense that the voice is the #1 instrument that we can connect with; it doesn't sound too alien. I think that's the key is to find the line between sounding human and sounding robotic. That's an area that I like to explore a lot. Flume alienareaconnect share on social

I struggled with the pressure of having the successful record after the first record. Second album syndrome. I'm living proof; it's very real. Flume albumlivepressure Change image and share on social
To me, skin is alien and kind of weird; it weirds me out. It's strange, but it's also really intimate and personal; it's living, organic. That's how I want the music to sound; I want it to feel alien and strange, but also like it's got a heartbeat, like it's got a soul, like it's not made by a robot.

In the dressing room, we've just made it really Zen: low lighting, lots of candles, and fresh, healthy food. Flume candledressfood Change image and share on social
I feel like the first record was really finding my feet, figuring out what music I wanted to make... Now that I've done that, I feel like I've got a much clearer idea of what I want to sound like and what I want to discover. It's exciting. Flume cleardiscoverexcit share on social
