The Solstice Memory
It's just me, I'm trying out some things, some noises and stuff. Let me know what you think.
(Previously called Zao (uk))Band/artist history
I've been writing songs for about 5 years now - and I'm still learning how to do it all, but I think I'm getting better.
I decided it would be good to get my music out to some people to see what they thought of it.
I also play drums in a live Trip-hop/Soul band called Horizon. I'm working on-line in a collaborative effort called Bandwidth choir and will soon be larking about with leftfield jazz-trio, Steve Down and the Swiss Family Robinson.
I hope to be starting up a project with my good friend Owen Hayward soon (otherwise known as brokenkings) - check him on www.soundclick.com/brokenkingsYour musical influences
My sound is a bit of 'Halloween, Alaska', 'The Postal Servce' and 'Sigur Ros' - all have been a great influence on me.
I'm also a very fond fan off Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright - theirlyric writing astounds me everytime I hear it.
And my greatest inspiration is my heavenly Father - greatest songwriter ever.What equipment do you use?
Mainly I use a crappy 2 PC mic for vocals, Cubase SX3 DAW software and then MIDI instruments as well as acoustic guitar and drums - mainly sampled though (but still played by me)Anything else?
