Porter Robinson would be the first to tell you that anime has inspired his sound. After all, this Japanese cultural phenomena is, in essence, about the power of dreams. Mysticism and human morality are laced into anime tales where characters go beyond their comfort zones and what they know to discover new worlds and newer sides to themselves. The notion is stunning and explains why Robinson and Madeon would be so influenced by the genre. This duo creates music that both discovers and alters elements of one’s surroundings through the art of sound.
Porter Robinson and Madeon make music that creates a symbiotic relationship between listeners and the songs they are hearing. While their music influences your being, you are also influencing how their music is received. This makes total sense as we all know that certain songs cause certain moods or different messages could be received between people listening to the same track. Yet, the difference is that that through trap/ house effects, Porter Robinson and Madeon make you aware of how music motivates you and you motivate music. The awareness adds a whole other level of appreciation to music as an art-form, and also ups the amount of energy it gives you. After all, how can you not feel doubly enlivened by something,when you realize how it evokes the best of you. Thus, through their digitized sounds, they help you discover some very real happiness.
