Motivation
My interest in music lies mostly in areas of syncretism. My goal is to recombine many of the disparate elements I’ve learned about in novel and coherent ways; an amalgamation of jazz, psychedelic rock, drum and bass, classical, and all kinds of folk music. Along the way, if I can use new tools and processes (read: computers and algorithms) to help me accomplish these goals, so much the better.
Inspiration
A few favorites in no particular order: Jaco Pastorius, Jimi Hendrix, Yes, Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Allan Holdsworth, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Squarepusher, Sting, Joni Mitchell, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Mike Marshall & Darol Anger Band, John Patitucci, Amon Tobin
