* Some inspirations: I learned to play piano by ear, often listening to Dave McKenna, known as a solo jazz pianist with walking bass lines in the left hand. My introduction to electronic music was by learning to program analog synth in a 70s-funk cover band, playing music by Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and others. In time I was also drawn to Detroit techno (esp. Jeff Mills) and experimental synthesizer music (e.g. Pauline Oliveros, Maggi Payne, Eliane Radigue, Louis & Bebe Barron).
