My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 28/09/2006
Band Website: http://www.dwightashley.com
Influences: It seems hard to avoid being affected by everything one runs into. However here are a few stand outs.

Art: Otto Dix, Joel-Peter Witkin

Literature: Gunter Grass, Knut Hamsun, Soren Kierkegaard & Kurt Vonnegut

Music: On the whole, I have been less influenced by individual artists than I have been by particular works. Maurice Jarre’s soundtrack to Jacob’s Ladder, Fripp and Eno's Evening Star, Ornette Coleman - entire discography, Georg Philip Telemann - all of his music for Winds, Gavin Bryars - After the Requiem, and Tim Story.
Tim has had a significant influence on me in many ways. I have learned much from him about craftsmanship; in particular, the effort required to go the distance with the last 10% of a project. I must also credit Tim with improving my understanding of melody and timing (A Miles sort of thing). This has been particularly helpful, for I fear my material would be a bit more amorphous without his affect.
Record Label: Nepenthe Music and Publishing
Type of Label: Indie
