Band Members: Johanne Heraty
Influences: These are the people who have made me sit up and think about the music
Ruth Crawford Seeger, Dane Rudhyar, Peter Moran, Ronan Guilfoyle, Stravinsky, Schubert, Mahler, Moondog, Louis Armstrong, Kevin O’ Connell, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Thom Yorke, Elliott Carter, Mortan Feldman, Willie ’The Lion’ Smith, Prokofiev, Charles Ives, Art Tatum, Murcof,
I think I have a particular affinity to certain types of music like jazz, but the early stuff, like the Hot 5s and 7s, Earl Hines, King Creole, just post blues jazz. But I also live Charles Mingus too. Mmmmmmmooooooooood Indigo!
Then there’s my love of Russian music...There is something in the make up especially for me in the orchestration, I find it to be the most beautiful sounding music. And anything Thom Yorke does I find amazing, so far the only negative comment I have is that it took them far too long to bring out this new album, but I listen to it or part of it nearly everyday since I got it! And then there is my love of American music especially Ruth Crawford Seeger and then right through then to Carter & Ives. I also love Schubert’s Winterreise and the list could go on forever...
Sounds Like: Well..... You tell me...
