Sounds Like: Primary influences include Massive Attack, Lamb, alongside more guitar driven sounds from bands like The God Machine, Smashing Pumpkins and Mogwai.Generally the majority of tracks will feature a mix of different elements to create the end result.Most of the time this involves an original guitar part or loop providing a bit of inspiration. After that a mixture of soft synths and sound production techniques help create the ambient sounds and incidentals, plus MIDI programmed drums to deliver rythmic and percussive elements.To be honest the goal is to create something with power and meaning, that hopefully impacts on some kind of emotional level.In many ways I feel music should deliver some sort of forceful reaction, so even the quieter tracks will often switch to something a bit more powerful halfway through.Always keen to hear what you all think!
