THIS MIGHT BE A TOTAL STRETCH (pun intended) BUT

was trying to find some vids for that Sophie track, Cherry Pop, that he's been playing and stumbled on this. Couldn't help but feel like this reminded me of that SXSW performance with the balloons and some of the balloon sounds he uses in his tracks. Could even be why he named his project Sophie, if he saw this video and it influenced him. I have synesthesia, so a lot of his music visually links up to this strange video with me. Anyway just putting that out there, to see what some others thought. I know this might get me ridiculed, but there is something very unsettling yet fun about this video that just screams SOPHIE to me.

As long as we're on the topic of things he might've derived part of his name or "brand" from, I found this Twitter account in the process of looking for him. Seems to be just some girl named Sophie, with one tweet to her name. But her handle is "sophiemsm"! She signed up in 2010, and the earliest record of msmsmsmsm.com on the Internet Archive is from 2011, so I'm pretty sure she predates his use of the phrase. I think it's possible that he was in the process of setting up all the SOPHIE social media stuff, stumbled across this girl's account, and decided to use a corrupted version of her handle for his "internet presence".
Also Keith judging from some context clues in that video I don't think it was done for purely aesthetic purposes... if you catch my drift... though of course that's kinda part of the SOPHIE "brand" as well, so who knows.

Even if it is a total coincidence, the video certainly is interesting and very very Sophie-like. Thanks for sharing!

Twitter account definitely is a coincidence, though, sorry. But to add to it all what's up with msmsmsm.tumblr.com

It almost certainly is, but the presentation of it (colourful balloons, the person's expressions) come off as bizarrely asexual, in the same way I perceive some of Sophie's music (namely "Hard") all completely by accident. I think Felicita had similar videos for a while but I digress
