Influences
Chopin (my very first love. let's keep this one private)
Schumann (emotion. twists in plot. )
Satie (so bright. so mysterious. repeated motifs. something scientific, yet uncanny)
Schoenberg (two words | twelve tones)
Bach (start with perfection, then break your own rules, at the unexpected moment)
Stravinsky (three measures of three, one measure of one)
Einstein (he talked an awful lot about waveforms, vibrations and oscillations)
John Adams (can you say, "glockenspiel"? can you say the "industrial revolution"?
Steve Reich (minimalist master. go ahead. you play at 113 BPM, I'll play at 115 BPM
Ali Farke Toure (something about a blues scale without the blues. something about pedal tones. something about everything but the third.
Alpha Yaya Diallo (celebrate; booty shake. when you go to heaven, Diallo will be there!
Amadou & Mariam (bring us on your adventure)
McCoy Tyner (double-jointed percussionist. 4ths. all I have to say, is FOURTHS!
Herbie Hancock (nothing is further away than half notes)
Keith Jarrett (moan when nothing else explains your culmination of those notes you're playing)
Gil Evans (who said the orchestra could take an opium break??!)
Bjork (voice of an angel, voice of the incarcerated. vision unequalled. she just does what she feels)
Portishead (shimmering ziljian ride cymbals drenched in reverb)
Pinback (tight. just so tight. bass played like every instrument combined. pop hooks. angry lyrics come out strong, not whiney like death cab. now that's an influence)
Tricky (oh, it sounds so good so messy! I call him the modern day Miles. he brings talent together)
Radiohead (blur your lyrics. it's ok. just make it rich, layers and layers and layers of guitars, reverb, harmonies, cry to the sky. you don't need lyrics!
Miles (he was the original miles. he brought talent together. masterful
Coltrane (say what you have to say until you have said it .. all)
MORE ==>
Thelonius Monk (off beat, off off ..beat. genius. no one swings harder, perhaps)
Strauss (let's to into space and have a space ballet)
Yo Yo Ma (breathes life into the paper. do you know how freaking hard it is to play that thing in tune!!!??)
Coldplay (take one HUUUGE breath before you sing that long line)
Elliot Smith (that guitar, that softness. keep it real)
Matt Pond (no one sounds like him, you know)
The Stills (they're just fun, awesome)
Interpol (same thing)
Death Cab (whiney but great)
Sounds Like
Ahmed says it sounds like Massive Attack. I think sometimes it sounds like something Bjork-ish, sometimes it sounds like "world music" - sometimes it sounds like classical music, sometimes new-agey (oh no!) - sometimes ambient, jazzy, urban, melodic, cinematic, who can say.
But one thing i can say, is that each piece is an 'exercise' - an exploration. Each new piece of music is often just a search to answer a question about, "What will happen if i do this?" More and more I aim for a warm sound, and try to collect acoustic instruments to use as more paintbrush colors.
Bottom line: piano is my love. gotta record more of that!
