Interview: Conrad and Stefanie of Beautiful Machines

What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? Conrad: My first memories of music was listening to my parents sing Yellow Submarine from The Beatles over my crib as a lullaby. Early years, various rock / pop / synth / classical music found its way to my ears, most notably, Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, kick-ass 80s new wave, synth-pop and rock and I was and have been forever enchanted. I’ve always been drawn also to music that is a bit “diagonal,” like Oingo Boingo or Jean Michele-Jarre. Genre matters less than how interesting something is and you connect with it. Had I not gotten into music, I would have gotten into music, no way around it. There is nothing to me as pure and transcendent as music. However, if music was untouchable, I think I would have gone into the sciences and engineering, stuff at the bleeding edge, like nano-biology.
