Sounds Like: ...ATB with a touch of Alice Deejay and a dash of the 'Anjunabeats Records' label...maybe? I don't know. It's difficult to describe as my friends aren't too sure either. I do strive for that kind of beauty that will make a person cry (hopefully with joy) and feel something that will also get them to dance til dawn. When I do play LIVE, my sound definitely falls within the realm of Melodic Trance which in my case consists of solid melodies, strings and sometimes a dash of Acid (as in Techno). I'll have to put some tunes up on this site VERY soon! I am very fond of analogue electronic instruments and have been known to tweak the heck out of a Korg MS-20 during my live sets. I am in LOVE with the sound of Electronic Dance Music!!! In the end, hardware (& software) are all tools that are used in the craft of songwriting and its construction. The synthesizer is the new folk instrument! "sin-THEH-tik e-lek-TRON-ik sowndz.."
