05.15.09Interview: SIMON PILERThe interview of interviews? Quite possibly. Either way, this is one long and mightily interesting reads, so strap yourselves in, get comfy and dig on it. 1 How did you get into making music? I think I was singing little songs from a very early age, and I'm sure that my father would sing his (unaccompanied) songs to me as well, when I was very young.
