Sounds Like: difficult one, i have been told some of my more ambient music sounds like erik satie, and there is a leftfield sound sometimes, but i make my own samples from bits of string and washing up liquid bottles. i usually try something new each time i make a track although i have developed a sound (more of an ideal) that i go back to time and time again trying to capture something special. if you like ambient, laid back, melodic sounds or sometimes sound a bit floyd with a space theme then there's something here for you. i have a catalogue of many tracks so i will be rotating new stuff as it comes out of the oven
