Going into this album, I was very inspired by experimental, noise, and ambient music. My goal for the album was to incorporate different elements of some of my favorite noise artists in order to find my sound. Below are my inspirations for the sound of my album.
Elusin is a Norwegian-American artist and producer who experiments with a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments. Her music creates a dreamy aura with a hint of dark distortion. I was very inspired by her use of heavy guitar and soft vocals.
Lightning Bolt is an experimental noise duo that uses driving bass and heavy drums to create a wall of distorted sound. Although all of their songs are written in advance, they have a very improvised sound.
Caterina Barbieri is a contemporary Italian composer who specializes in synthesizers. While her sound is more mellow than my music, I was very inspired by the emotion she conveys through the synth.
