I listen to a lot of black metal, video game soundtracks and IDM. A bit of jazz, house, jungle and various other things. Most of my music is pretty squarely in the 90s/2000s Warp Records camp, and I’ve been trying to expand into jungle lately.
I’ve made a couple of black metal(ish) songs. I would love to finish a full EP of those, but writing metal songs is a pretty laborious process for me. It’s nice to write music with lyrics, and I’ve always loved doing harsh vocals.
It’s always interesting to me when people make music that in styles they don’t listen to - like, I’ve somewhat internalized the genres that I stated above, but I can’t write an actually good techno track, largely because I’m not familiar with the genre.
