years ago, i realized that i wanted to write an album that focused on beauty above all else.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014the feeling of hugeness and gorgeousness and vastness and beauty is what i fucking live for. it is my favorite thing in the world
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i kept trying to write songs that both satisfied me artistically and also could 'work' in a dj set.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014nobody ever heard these songs because they sucked and made me miserable
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014again and again, i found that making a track 'danceable' just meant compromising and ignoring what the song really needed
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014and i found that the more i forced myself to work within those dj-friendly limits, the more i resented the genre.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i realized that the rift between the music that works for DJs and the music that i love had grown too huge to ignore.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i considered quitting 'porter robinson' and exclusively writing music under an alias.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014the reason i didn't quit is 'language'. to me, that song is the gate between my DJ music and the Worlds stuff.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i've had multiple anxiety attacks on stage this year and it was always related to feeling like a fraud. it sucked
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014the fucking watershed moment in writing Worlds was when i realized that i didn't have to write songs for DJs
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i realized that my need to be honest with myself and with you was greater than my need to be famous or whatever.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i don't want to cheapen peoples' past experiences of shows or songs. i still fuck with my old stuff.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014that was my favorite music when i was 18. i am 21 now and now i'm writing 21-year-old-me's favorite music
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014"don't forget your roots" dude, if i was still writing my 'roots' music i'd be writing eurodance DDR shit so don't even give me that lmao
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014i'm going to post one of the songs from my album now.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014this song is called 'sea of voices'. i've been kicking around the idea of making it public for a week.
— 【＝◈︿◈＝】ｐｏｒｔｅｒ【＝◈︿◈＝】 (@porterrobinson) March 2, 2014I really appreciate the honesty and direct connection that Porter has with his fans.
