About Me |
|
Influence comes from all avenues but it's mainly in the realms of science fiction novels and films that I gain most of my influence. Futuristic landscapes, cutting edge (pseudo?)science, deep philosophical themes, imagination run wild. It's this realm of pure imagination (sorry to go all charlie and the chocolate factory) that I find most inspiring, the ability of the science fiction author to develop entire galaxies from scratch. It is this ability that I aim to put into practice with my music. That whatever I can conceive can physically be reproduced aurally. Enjoy, as we descend headfirst into the future. |
