Influences: From the permanent imprints in the inner fold of his temporal lobe, Independent Saint created the outlines for his latest solo project - Psychonaut.Meant to combine the higher levels of consciousness with computed vibrations, Psychonaut should feel like electronic ayurveda, an esoteric and energetic travel through time, space and human mind.Knowledgeable friends of mine classified this music as Dark Electro Pop. I decided to call it Dark Electro Punk.The feel of Psychonaut is a result of various influences stretching over a long period of time. In elements it reflects psychodelic and experimental rock (Doors, Pink Floyd, Residents, Pere Ubu...), punk (Clash, Devo, Pankrti, Dead Kennedy's...), dark/goth (Joy Division, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Marilyn Manson, Ramstein...), electronic and similar (DAF, Front 242, Art of Noise, Borghesia, Depeche Mode, NIN, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers...).Some of these bands I know by heart. Others maybe made a song or two which made a permanent mark on my musical growing up.I have listened to many other bands and kinds of music as well, but the Psychonaut project derives from this line of influence.
Sounds Like: Something you would like to hear when you are in your favourite club, spirits high and ready to hop around or shake your head to some kick-ass music...:)
