This is Metamora. The music in my head.
Not yet...
Stabbing Westward/The Dreaming, The Postal Service/Death Cab For Cutie, Chevelle, Strata, Story of the Year, Orgy, Placebo, Cold... Those are the big influences of the rock side of the music. Everything I hear influences me in one way or another, so this list could get really long.
Reason, Fruity Loops 4 Producer Edition, and Acid 4.0 Pro for programming, mixing, editing and mastering...
Yamaha Guitars, ESP Guitars, Eden Amplification, Line 6 Amplification, DOD effects, and Sennheiser microphones for live instruments.
