Band Members: Me myself personally.
Influences: I'm pretty influenced by dreams and abstract thought patterns that I have, also theres a bit of sampling here and there from some nice old obscure sources: music from commodore 64 computer games - the best composers were to me were: Fred Gray, martin Galway, Rob Hubbard and Tim Follin. Synth soundtracks to 80's film, old kids tv themes, old music, Japanese film, whatever hits the spot at the time.If you want to hear about bands, then here we go:
