Sounds Like: Nashista's music is an eclectic blend of ambient, meditative melodies intricately interwoven with multi-layered orchestrations of varied instruments ranging in sound from the digeridoo to voice, piano, guitar, and flute to french horns, cellos, harps, and strings. Working also within the world music genre, he incorporates sounds from around the globe such as the sitar to the bazouki, bagpipes, english horn, and bohdran to the conch shell, erhu, tabla, and shamisen. He also uses a vast variety of drumming styles and instruments to lend the driving force behind some of his most provocative dance pieces.Nashista's musical experience is deeply rooted in folk and rock & roll, having been influenced early on by Simon & Garfunkel, Jethro Tull, Arlo Guthrie, Bruce Cockburn,The Who, and others too numerous to mention. As his musical tastes evolved over the years he returned to his original classical roots and developed a deep desire to produce orchestral music and soundtracks for film. Within this sphere of writing he has been greatly influenced by the great score writers Hans Zimmer, Phillip Glass, David Arkenstone, Vangelis, and the ever-exuberant performer and composer Yanni.
