Sounds Like: statedlife makes music than can be classified in many different genres ...his creative flow has jumped around from eno inspired ambient to orbital ispired, downtempo to melodic tech housey grooves to funky James brown inspired break beats, statedlife has a wide range of musical influences and he's not afraid to explore and embrace all of them, drawing from his memories and his most true feelings of life and exsistance and how he relates to the music that he grew up listening to, embracing and grooving to.
here are some kind words about statedlifes ambient project Future dream
"The entirety of Statedlifes' existence is derived from the delicacy of the human subconscious. It is also, oddly enough, our subconscious that tends to be most affected by the tranquility and harmonic nature Statedlifes' peaceful and pacifistic movements provide".
~~~Chase Scott--Indie Nation~~~
"Future Dream overflows with lush sonic soundscapes that fills one with emotion. It somehow feels as if it was modelled on "BT - This Binary Universe" (one of my favorite albums btw) and suceeds (in a sense) to create a simular deep emotional connection with the listener. This is Ambient music as it should be and as such should be downloaded and shared with everyone you know. If you need to study, or have some serious thinking time ahead this music will help themood".
