About Me

Seak cys is a project born in the late 80s as an outlet for music that wouldn't fit into any other project I'm involved in. Experimental music, folk, pop, jazz, rock, classical or electronic music? I'm not interested in labels. My main influences are listed on this page but don't expect to identify any of it in my pieces. These influences are not about harmonies, melodies or instrumentation. They are about structure and mood and artistic approach. I'm glad if you find something that you can connect with but if you don't that's perfectly fine as well. It's music, not a contest for popularity.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/3/2007
Influences: Jim Steinman for creating music that's larger than life. Beethoven for exploring the details of a motive. Nick Drake for the beauty that can rise from despondency. Michael Hedges as an example that the boundaries of an instrument are only the ones of our minds. Toni Childs for the uniqueness of a voice. Tori Amos for the intensity of interpretation. Gianna Nannini (on 'Una radura'1977, before she became a rock singer) for the same reason. Tom Waits as an example that you don't have to limit yourself to pleasant sounds to create pleasant music. Björk for proving that there's soul in electronic music if only you put it there.

1000s intro

Written as an intro to the song 'Thousands of current phrases' from Ghosts of Dawn's first CD 'Absolutely independent' in 1991. It never made it on the album so it's featured here. I borrowed some ele...

The empty room

A very simple solo guitar piece which offers a lot of room for sound and melody to develop but is also unforgiving in regards of poor playing. I'm not content with the recording as it is but as I don'...
