Who are your Influences?

[SpyPie]

A thread where you can post your influences on your music
~
I have alot of influences, but I only feel that the credit should rest in Aphex Twin's arms.
He was my childhood hero, his style is known to me, and my knowledge has carried throughout my music

[vladnuke]

Renard. Always.

I love that creepy crossdressing bastard.

[colortwelve]

A short list, attempting to encompass me in every single genre I produce:
Skream
Magnetic Man
deadmau5
Boards of Canada
Feed Me
Foreign Beggars
Dream Theater
Mastodon
Princess Addictia
Caravan Palace
Noisia

And probably a lot of others, but meh.

[soultensionbenjamin]

My musical influences,
videogames such as the sonic,kirby,zelda megaman ,and whatever series you can think of
And japanese rock music thats what inspired me to learn music.

[Magnitude Zero]

Various movie soundtracks, music from video games like Zelda: OoT and MM and Minecraft, bronies like Makkon, PinkiePieSwear, NotACleverPony and Mr. Hooves, and to a lesser extent electronic musicians like deadmau5 and Pendulum.

[Fimbulin]

Tons of soundtracks. Most notably: Elder Scrolls anything, Batman, Wolf 3D, League of Legends themes they do about every other week, Halo... etc. etc etc... noone wants to read this part anyways...

Brony music stuff from demented clasical to orchestral hybrid to brostep and beyond: Dr. Dissonance, Jeff the Strider, NotACleverPony, Archie, Aviators...

Seriously, this community has talent and has probably influenced me permanently.

[Captain Ironhelm]

mostly classical, epic soundtracks, irish/bluegrass, eurobeat, progressive house. That covers most of it.

[CDPP]

Pulp
Murray Gold
Michael Giacchino
Arctic Monkeys
Pegboard Nerds
Tut Tut Child
Death Cab for Cutie

But most importantly, you guys.

[natsukashi]

The Silent Hill soundtracks.
Bong-Ra
Venetian Snares

and a lot of random inspiration coming into my mind like an out of control monster. Also, accidentally making a good sound and deciding to build tracks around it. That counts right?

[K3WRO]

General Inspirations Based on the Genre I work on:

Hixxy
Scott Brown
Ryu
Yoshitaka Nakamura
IOSYS
DJ Sharpnel (both of them)
Darren Styles
kors k
Unicorn Kid
Nullsleep
Receptor
Noisia
Spor (Feed Me)
Skrillex (lol)
Danny Byrd
LTJ Bukem

And within the brony community:

Omnipony (Hey, I'm 14 too, why can't I make music like him?)
Alex S. ( Who doesn't like him?)
Princess Addictia (Addicted to this guy's music)
Icky (D'n'B and Hardstyle baby!)
Foozogzpepperbrony (Pure epic)
Wooden Toaster
Living Tombstone

Almost forgot to say Renard <3

[Versilaryan]

Charles Ives, Dave Douglas, and Porcupine Tree are my big three. To a lesser extent, xKore, Avenged Sevenfold, Les Friction, and random other artists depending on what kind of song I'm working on.

[ChromaticChaosPony]

Dream Theater. Definitely John Petrucci is my biggest influence.

Other than that, the list of my influences is way too long for one post.

[Magnitude Zero]

Elder Scrolls anything

How did I forget this? Morrowind's music is absolutely beautiful. Skyrim's is great too. Not a huge fan of Oblivion's.

[CommandSpry]

Daniela Schmidt (xxxdanielaschimdtxxx on youtube), Addictia, Vivaldi, Yonaton Habte, Pendulum, Hudson Mohawke, Matisyahu, just some random picks

[SpyPie]

oh, I do love Deadmau5, probably more than I should. I have enough Deadmau5 merchandise to be considered creeper. He just Hasn't INFLUENCED me as much as AFX

[Legion]

Aviators
Tombstone
Jackle
Aviators
Dan Bull
Kanye West
Yelling at Cats
Both Man on the Moon albums by Kid Cudi. Fucking beautiful production on those. (Especially Man on the Moon and Mr. Rager [the songs, not albums])

[Whitetail]

I like like a shit ton of music and get inspired constantly


But I guess some of the people who have influenced me most would be:

Tool
A Perfect Circle
Karnivool
Cex
Aphex Twin
Venetian Snares
Pendulum
This Town needs Guns
Old Video game soundtracks (Metroid, Megaman, Sonic, etc.)
BT
Squarepusher
She
Prototype Raptor

Though often it's just whatever I'm listening to during that time.
Though I have to say Tool has to be the band that's musically influenced me the most ever, like I just fell in love with their style and a lot of the weird technical things they love to shove into their songs - not to mention when I was first learning bass their bassist was the sort of thing I wanted to strive to be like.

Honestly with this list you'd expect I'd produce more rock, I'm just too perfectionist about little things that I can never get past my horrid guitar tone.... I really need to look into getting a good sound more sometime, I have all the tools at my disposal.

[ÜberTriangle]

Basically any movie or video game composer.

[Raddons]

Dream Theater. Definitely John Petrucci is my biggest influence.
