RS: I've read on your blogs that you also struggle with Asperger's syndrome. Is this related to attention deficit disorder? How does it affect your DJing/producing?
Dave Dresden: Well I have a dual diagnosis. I have bipolar disorder and Asperger's syndrome. What those two things do is help me feel emotional music more easily and deeply than someone without them. It has helped me write lyrics and form songs that would help people with problems feel something because being a person with this problem, it helped me, and knowing that I was helping people with the music I helped create gave me a sense of purpose and that feeds itself in a lot of ways and gives me the courage to go and make more music and understand a lot of what people are feeling on the dance floor and elsewhere.
Sometimes when working with people who are not afflicted with these diseases it makes them question you, because they don't live with these problems. They don't quite understand what I and people with these afflictions are going through and can be mistaken for rudeness and selfishness, when in fact, all I want to do is just do better and help people through the best way I know how: music. It's been my driving force for many years. I didn't know I had these problems until 2006, but there's a thread to it all from the music I liked as a kid, how emotional songs would make me get chills and sometimes cry for both my condition, the feeling of being misunderstood and for those who would be on the receiving end of the music that was made. I am medicated for these conditions, but that still doesn't stop one from feeling these feelings, but also the memories I had going through life with these problems. |
Sounds a lot to me like someone throwing themselves a pity party, making a bunch of excuses for being a knob, and patting themselves on the back all at once.
Again, par for the course.
