Influences
Likely influences or parallels: Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, Gong, Nektar, Haken, Dream Theater, Opeth, Zappa, Van Der Graaf Generator, Al Di Meola, National Health, Brand X, Fiona Apple, Barbara Thompson. Also, Sting/Police, Boomtown Rats, Joe Jackson. As such, players should be comfortable getting into odd time signatures and working to nail various changes (timing, sound intensity, plenty of SPACE, extensive key appreciation, melodic -v- dissonance and avenues for WILD).
EQUIPMENT
Main: Yamaha Custom Grown Electronic Kit with DTXtreme IIs module (21 triggers, >2000 drum voices, stereo out for live, 6-way for recording; sampling and uploads; 3rd profile pic shows old DTXpress, 4th: since upgraded) . Simmons DA200S monitor with dual XLR/Phono outputs, ex vol and clip. Acoustic Kit possible with growth of project but Elec is part of vision. Hand drums - Monster Bass Djembe, Darbuka, Meinl Freerider Pro Bongos, + RJM Custom Cajon for acoustic sessions. Korg Wavedrum Global in offing.
