I enjoyed listening to his strong opinions on art and expression. I could feel his passion through his eccentric descriptions of his albums and essays. I especially enjoyed his work in progress — perfume. I never thought about incorporating smell into a project so seeing Markus thoroughly research his personal interests and incorporate them into his professional work inspires me to do the same. I also agree with his strong emphasis on artists needing a special star value to make it in the world. With the globe more connected than ever, competition is like never before, so not having all our eggs in one basket is paramount.
I wish he showed us more of his music production process, but I understand it wouldn’t have been possible with the time constraints. I would have loved to watch him working on Ableton Trial 11 since I’ve I have a new found interest in music production.
