A Quote by Matt Tong

Whatever I do, I'm always struggling to create a visceral experience. With my music, I'm more of a live performer these days. And film is such a different thing. It's where people sit in a dark theater. I want them to feel me as viscerally as if they were at a live show.

That's all you have to do. You just have to do something that's exactly the same, totally different, and better.
