Ceremony
Ceremony utilizes tribalistic soundscapes, driving guitars, and rich atmospheres to bring a unique audio experience to each ear it touches.
We are here to honor the rhythm...in the end we are all melody...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
John Moore- Guitar, bass, drum sequences, handdrums, noise, arrangements
Tim Herman- Lead and rhythm guitar, bass, spiritual replenishment for John, noise, arrangements
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
As of today, we haven't played live with Ceremony, but plans are under way for that to happen.
Your musical influences
I listen to so many different styles of music; but I would have to say the heavier, darker side of things is where we tend to land. We love Tool, Soundgarden, A Perfect Circle, Faith No More, Corrosion of Conformity, Deftones...I could go on for an hour...but I would never compare us to them; they are only part of the music that makes us who we are...we make music out of the need to create. We draw alot of inspiration from situations and predicaments life throws at you...I get a certain feeling from the songs...we hope that carries over to other people as well...
What equipment do you use?
Dell all the way baby....Tascam too. Schecter Guitars, POD Preamp, Korg, blah blah blah. Fender Guitars...and lots of kid's toys...the noisy ones...
Anything else?
We hope anyone who gives us a listen will drawl something from each song, whether it be a feeling or a vision; something that will take you to a place you haven't been before, or somewhere you love to go.
