Live Performances
Gillis started out and still uses the software AudioMulch. His "instrument" he plays is his laptop. When he plays live every sample is set off by himself. It is likely for him to layer many loops over each other. The set is mapped out in his head and memorized, though the set it live and is subject to change. There is also a video visual to the show that is set off by someone else. It's a live show and he changes it up as he sees fit, but he still practices his set. He has also been known to invite fans onto the stage to dance along side with him.
