Influences: over the years, a list of bands or musical artists that fidel likes would be something like - ray stevens, atari teenage riot, bearsuit, suede, martini henri rifles, ol' dirty bastard, group sex by the circle jerks, beethoven, or whatever esle he found in the chairty shop that day.
adding it all up, he doesnt think that sounds like APPLICANTS at all though.
fidel's hero would probably be someone like joe meek, who's house/home studio at 304 holloway road he lived in for 8 months.
Sounds Like: Bricolage
is a term used in several disciplines, among them the visual arts and literature, to refer to:
* the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things which happen to be available;
* a work created by such a process.
It is borrowed from the French word bricolage, from the verb bricoler – equivalent to the English "do-it-yourself", the core meaning in French being, however, "fiddle, tinker" and, by extension, "make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are to hand (regardless of their original purpose)".
