I have to listen to your music.
>>53875648
the main influences on the stuff I make are
Pixies
Slint
King Crimson
Ramleh
The Smiths
The Gerogerigegege
Joy Division
and The Stooges
sort of longform off-kilter hard rock/punk tracks with noise/noise rock influences, baritone voiced singer, and a lot of yelling and changes of time signature
Dispatch (mostly the songs written by Chadwick Stokes)
Tool
Two very different bands, two very different ways of writing music. Most of you probably know Tool, but probably not Dispatch. Two of my favorite bands.
On one side you have very warming and energetic/loving music by Dispatch, which is usually easy for me to connect to as to where I am located. On the other hand you have Tool's brilliant lyrics and instrumental work which makes me dig far into the depths of my mind.
swans, nirvana (specificly in utero), and godflesh
>>53875648
Beck
Weezer
Pink Floyd
Syd Barrett
The Velvet Underground
Joy Division
King Crimson
and Neutral Milk Hotel
I listen to a lot more music than this but these are the bands I base my sound off of and I notice the more I listen to a certain artist the more I sound like them, intentionally or not.
>>53876184
Isn't that all of us?
Shinsei Kamattechan
various J-Pop acts
Tears for Fears
Early Swans

Slint
Igor Stravinsky
Brian Eno
Burzum
Lustmord
Svartsinn
Robert Fripp

>>53875648
the music of Debussy and Stravinsky, bruh
>>53876824
hey really not that bad, pretty stripped back and experimental but I feel it has potential. Keep rolling with your ideas
>>53877269
>>53876824
although you might want to do more than just those solo guitar tracks. I feel like you sould include one on a release but listening to more than just one gets really tiring really quick. Also trying playing with some different guitar tones

I'm trying to say someone was getting defensive about no longer being the only avantteen on the block
>>53875648
I know this may sound edgy, but honestly, my music is directly influenced by a lack of interest in what I'm hearing. If I'm feeling burned out in terms of listening to music, I'll make something up to entertain myself. Sometimes I'll just write a song so I'll have something new and interesting to listen to.
>>53878021
>thinks what he discovered was avant garde music.
But that's not at all what you were saying. You were directly referencing the music.
You lost. Get over it.
>>53875648

>the national
okay they have nice songflow and a great balance between the vocals and the music
>have a nice life
I don't see why anybody likes them
>mbv
good influence for textures
>slowdive
good influence for melodic, textured music and the whole "vocals as an instrument" concept
>joy division
good influence for mood and rhythms
>the cure
depends on the era, but overall a solid pop band
>dinosaur jr
not a huge fan, but I could see good influence coming from mascis guitar work
>teen suicide
never listened to them

Id like to listen to this
Tom Waits (In terms of songwriting, but also guitar playing because of Marc Ribot)
Joanna Newsom
Pink Floyd (less so nowadays, but they were a formative band for me so some of their influence is deep down in me at this point)
Michael Hurley (He's really gotten me into old folk and blues music and gotten me to incorporate those influences in my music. Also his music is hugely inspiring)
Nick Cave
Bob Dylan
Screaming Females
Black Sabbath
Those are most of the big ones I guess
>>53878759
too many cooks in the kitchen tend to spoil the broth my dear lad
