Influences
I would have to say my influences really start with Bjork. The fact that everything she puts out seems so personal and so captivating and it helps me to reflect. I would never try to mimic her sound because that would be imposiblebut I would like for people to enjoy my music as I enjoy hers or others. I enjoy her as an artisit. My favorite guitar player is probably Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. The sounds that come from his guitar is like an erotic passion of love and hard rosewood moaning for more! I also would have to say Thom York from Radiohead is another one of my influences because he is an inspiration to music in general he really is talented in taking the audience on a ride they will never forget.
EQUIPMENT
I play a Thurston Moore Fender Jazzmaster with Seymore Duncan Antiquity 2 Pickups with an alder body a maple neck and a nitro cellulose finish. I play through different amps. I have a 5 watt champion 600 5 watt tube amp which is awesome for recording and a 64 crate solidstate SLR for just jamming out. Which is a 40 watt amp.I also have a shure mic and have the delta 1010lt installed for recording on my pc. I am working with Ableton live 8 as far as software goes. And I have been know to create some decent beats even with the Nintendo Ds.
