Not quite a DJ but not quite a band, Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk, performs alone using a laptop computer to create his music. While that sight may not be so strange if you're expecting to hear a DJ, people expecting to hear a live, original act may be surprised to see one performer head on stage with only his laptop. Many bands use new technology to varying degrees in their recordings and performances. Girl Talk sets are traditionally quite over the top (think: lots of dancing on stage and off, and lots of people around expensive electronics), so he has to make a few adjustments to keep his gear safe. (This is where the Saran Wrap comes into play.)
In a recent New York Times interview, Gillis shared a few interesting and techy tidbits from his career. Find out more after the break.
