Pop Rock

My name is Tim Blake, and Quarry Mantis is the name of my one-man musical project. Quarry Mantis has no set-in-stone style, but currently it consists of electronics, progressive rock and dashes of black metal and others. I like to think my music is carried on its fresh ideas, and I try to be as enthusiastic as possible when approaching the music making process. Please enjoy my stuff. ;)

Your musical influences
For programming electronic music my main influence is probably Ulver, whose atmospheric electronics serve as a great inspiration. When it comes to progressive rock I look to the likes of Pink Floyd, Camel, King Crimson and others. For metal, I'm inspired by groups like Enslaved, Opeth and Judas Priest.
What equipment do you use?
I mainly use software - FruityLoops, Reason 2.5, Cubase SX, Cakewalk Homestudio and AcidLoops. I also have a good condenser microphone and a simple mixing desk.
Anything else?
Nope, just enjoy the music.
