Altitude Control
Altitude Control strives to create compelling original music not bound by traditional labels. We thrive on improvisation, groove and interplay. We have influences from everything else we've been listening to.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This band morphed out of a previous incarnation called Eclectic Electric.
Your musical influences
We play rock music combined with or informed by some of the more complex structures and interplay coming from other styles. Yes, Jeff Beck, Pink Floyd, Steve Morse, Chick Corea, Hariprasad Chaurasia and John Coltrane are all influences.
What equipment do you use?
Various basses, Les Pauls and Yamaha drums. Trying lots of different amps at the moment. Right now our recording set up is very simple - a 20 channel mixer and a 32 channel digital recorder.
Anything else?
We'd appreciate any feedback on our songs and style. We keep being asked to label what we're doing and it's hard, as we are a little too close to it.
