Influences

Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, Tomita are traditional favorites, and I also follow artists like H.U.V.A., Scann-Tec, AES Dana, Neuroq, State Asure, Martin Sturtzer, Entheogenic, stereOMantra, don music, Synth Seeker, TAETRO, Cuckoo, and a dozen others.

I've also been influenced by all the great classic rock/blues/prog rock greats: Cream/Clapton; Deep Purple; Led Zep; The Who; Guess Who; Creedance; Pink Floyd; Rolling Stones; early Eagles; early Fleetwood Mac; early Styx; Moody Blues; Bad Company; some Beatles; Grand Funk Railroad; David Bowie; Pink Floyd; Aerosmith; Badfinger; UFO; Yes; ELP; Kansas; Crack The Sky; Renaissance ... you get the picture.

I also really like some more modern rock: REM; U2; Peter Gabriel; John Cougar/Mellancamp; Springsteen; Aerosmith; Foo Fighters; Crowded House; Counting Crows; Matchbox 20; Smithereens; Elvis Costello; Police ...

I even like some heavier stuff: Scorpions; Incubus; Judas Priest; Evanescence; Pretty Reckless; ...

Really, I like pretty much anything except opera and gangster rap.
