The Gryson Orchestra was born some years ago as the first steps towards a more serious side of music making for me. Making music was more of a hobby, but as I grew I realized music was the only thing I could see myself doing. Making music has helped me not only as a creative outlet, but also as a sort of meditation and way to express what is inside of me.
The band is the solo works of Alex Figiel. End.
I did play live a few times, and the highlight of playing for me was the first time. I played "Revive" and "Strange Things" at a local open mic. Another few special moments for me were getting back on stage after messing up really bad a fer times from being so nervous. Its a lovely challenge.
For this project, I think It would be safe to say that I draw from electronic mainly. One of my biggest influences would have to be Trent Reznor, but I can also say I draw a lot of influence from bands like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. I have various other influences for this project, and try to make each song unique in some way.
I use my laptop, computer programs, and sometimes a guitar.
