Just me, Jim. Shadow's Interlude is really just a collection of the music I've written over the years using various computer programs.
Influences
Though I love progressive and symphonic metal bands such as Symphony X and Epica, most of the music I write myself is more inspired by other places.
Such as...
J.S. Bach
Kitaro
Traditional japanese music
Rennaisance music
Nobuo Uematsu
And video game music in general
And classical music on a whole.
That being said, I try to find my own sound, which can vary a lot from song to song, and over the last couple years of my writing, as well.
Sounds Like
Bach, kitaro, Nobue Uematasu, Yasunori Mitsuda, video game score.
