It can be said that i found his music offensive to the ear at times. However, he entices his audiences with nostalgic gameboy theme tunes that spring in here and there!
He set his parameters to a limitation of using just gameboy games. This was an interesting aspect, as he stated it allowed more room for creativity.
His influences have progressed throught his albums. Avant-Garde Minimalist's such as Steve Reich and John Cage have inspired his work. The idea of silence being avery imporetant factor.
He also took inspiration from unpredictable narratives. An example could apply to the style of Tom and Jerry cartoons. Naked city is a free jazz band that he referenced.
His early influences go back to the classical Boroque composer Bach. He tended to use singular notes rather than chords. This tactic applys to gameBoy music as they run on a four track sound that can only output one note at a time.
Dub Step was an area he dived. Its attitude focuses on the bass and tends to be relatively slow. An example he showed was BlackBeard. This attitude also applys to Stoner Rock. Bands such as Sleep being an influence.
He looked in to film music, John Carpenter being a massive influence with such films as Clockwork Orange , Halloween, The Shining. 80's electronic (abit cheesy) but amazing music.
