Veracohr	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 8:58 PM But I suppose hard and progressive trance in general is probably my biggest musical influence that I think can be heard in my music. Even saying that, though, a lot of the music I have here doesn't sound very influenced by trance." id="61068">Musical influence? My biggest influence is life, because life gives me the emotions and thoughts that come out as music. Or do you mean another artist whose "sound" comes through in my own music? In that case, I really can't say, because usually when I try to emulate some other style, it ends up completely different anyway. Plus, much of what I try to emulate I don't know the artist for. A lot of electronic music I hear is on mix albums, so any given song is probably the only song of that artist I've ever heard. But I suppose hard and progressive trance in general is probably my biggest musical influence that I think can be heard in my music. Even saying that, though, a lot of the music I have here doesn't sound very influenced by trance.

dsch	Date: September 4, 2003 @ 12:29 AM Dmitri Shostakovich. I don't try to sound like him, but I guess I listen to enough of his music that it just rubs off on me. Not that I mind. Eventually, though, I have to stop letting that happen. All of the composers people remember are ones that did something completely original, and I certainly wouldn't mind if my music was remembered. But now I'm rambling.

Izekial	Date: September 4, 2003 @ 7:34 AM points Ee! A Mitya! I'd like to be remembered too, but rock and roll has been pretty done. I'm sure there's something else to say, and I do try to bend music until it's original, but usually it just ends up... Bent. Oh well. It's much more than a hobby to me, so I can't complain.

sstrader	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 1:15 AM My ONE biggest influence? The one that you would most recognize when you read this. Is my biggest influence more important to me, or to you (the reader)? I don't even know anymore. We ask about others' influences because we're obsessed by our own influences. But if we're so obsessed by ourselves: why do we ask others?
Jennae	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 4:19 AM blue monday is an awesome song I have to agree with fireball a bit here.. I grew up on a large variety of musicial influences... I think I have absorbed a bit of them all in a sense
missvolatile	Date: September 11, 2003 @ 6:23 AM That has changed quite a bit over the years, but as of today..I would have to say Poe.
