Influences
as of june 2019 I'm really into deep chiptune, jazz fusion, contemporary rock, contemporary european classical, and internet music (jacob collier, louis cole, ghost-note, robert glasper, video game soundtracks, bill wurtz, jack stauber, adam neely)
post-rock and psychadelic rock were big for me growing up. my dad always had me listen to stuff like pink floyd, and later on i discovered music like public service broadcasting, which blew my mind with its use of sampling stuff
i believe that midi, sampling, and electronic synthesis are just as valid of instruments and musical practices as any other instrument
i have grown up WITH the internet, so be and twitch really heavily influence me. i started using be in 2010 or 2011 so i've seen it change quite a lot throughout my life.
here's a spotify playlist with all the music i grew up with and that has influenced me the most:
