Mr Oizo AMA – “I have absolutely no respect for DJs.” plus more!

Mr Oizo aka Quentin Dupiex lay some time aside for a Reddit to “Ask Him Anything” and being the frank dude that he is, Oizo had some pretty rib tickling and interesting answers.

The Ed Banger signed artist is both a musician and movie maker who offered insight into both his creative worlds. Both his mannerisms in his live performance and on stage presentation as well as the sometimes unstructured lay out of his movies makes him a unique entity that deserves more accolade.

What is it like to be signed to Ed banger?
Nothing special.

Who are your favorite contemporary electronic musicians or DJs? Who does Mr. Oizo go to see when he goes out?
I have absolutely no respect for DJs.

Who are your main musical influences?
Edith Piaf (wiki)

You’re writing process (music wise) took a drastic turn midway through your career. Can you elaborate on why you switched from using mostly hardware to a mostly DAW oriented setup? what sort of software tools have you found to be most important in your writing/production process? and finally, which song of yours are you most proud of?
i think i’m proud of this tune called ‘textes’ (stade 3 EP). i just love it like someone else did it. i think it is a perfect tune. i switched to software because i got bored with my old analog equipment. i needed something new and exciting

What was the inspiration for Flat Eric, and why has he stuck around with you for so long?
flat eric was inspired by dogs.

When will Flat Eric return?
soon maybe

Do you regret any project you worked on because it didn’t turn out like you thought it would?
Usually when a movie is done, after months of post production, i think it is bad.. then i watch it 2 years later and think it was brilliant.

Can you give us some insight on your next project, Realite?
right now i’m finishing my movie wrong cops. will start editing reality very soon. it’s pretty hard to talk about it.. i’d rather show you the movie

Do you prefer mango or melon?
fruits are retarded

Can I have some beard tips?
beard tips ; shave it yourself. do not make it perfect otherwise you’ll look like a poodle
