Sounds Like: Basically, anything I hear and can find a way to incorporate into the sound, I will. At any point it could veer into any of the above influences, I like to think of it as "Space Folk", or "Baroque Pop" with strong traditional acoustic leanings. Usually though, I just tell people it sounds like music. Which is mostly true, most of the time.
Type of Label: None
