ABOUT

I'm mainly interested in collaborating on experimental electronic or hip hop-influenced music, and I'd really like to try building songs that are musically experimental, but with a more rigid pop-like structure, and adding vocals. My music these days is strongly influenced by future beat, trap, cloud rap, and sample-based hip hop, but with overtones of 8-bit, psychedelic pop, and folk music (or anti-folk).

Influences

Stylistically, my music goes a lot of places, and I'm always trying to learn about new music and movements. These days, I tend to get a lot of inspiration from:

Beck, Flying Lotus, Clams Casino, Crystal Castles, the Flaming Lips, Kanye West, the Beatles, Shabazz Palaces, Caribou, the Radio Dept., Shlohmo, Tunng, Iron & Wine.

EQUIPMENT

- Acoustic guitar, ukulele
- Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic
- MIDI keyboards, drum pads (mainly for drums, sample triggering)
- Ableton Live
- Variety of synth software (mainly IK synths these days), arguably way too many samples + drum kits
