INTERVIEW: DANNY PEREZ PART 2
FEAR FOREVER (FF): Your visual work is almost like an electronic artist doing sample-based music. You do live visuals for bands like BLACK DICE and PANDA BEAR. What’s that like? What kind of software do you use? DANNY PEREZ (DP): I’ll give you the short version. I graduated NYU film
