Sounds Like: A creative cookery with a drop of alchemy and nostalgic mellotronic ingredients. A meltdown of film music & psychedelic audiophilatelies. Other describes my music as this: High quality laid back electronica with nice jazz flavours. Well mixed and high technical quality combined with some talented and tastefull artistry provides for a refreshing and comfortable listening experience. Elements of many different genres, ranging from jazz to drum'n'bass to electro to downtempo.
