my new one shows my drumming back ground and my hard core metal influence lol don't laugh but i think classical music and and death metal hard core music have a lot in common. I could not tell you what type of music i follow it depends on the mood i am in whats going on in my life and what / and how long of phase i am going through. i recently found myself inspired by a little rapper on x factor. That lil dude is stupid good
Those who want to be good in specific styles try hard with those styles and some are phenomenal. But you're right, for me its all just fusing everything I know together and what I hear both hear and elsewhere into stuff that resonates well with me. When I try to be a certain style, I usually don't like the result. Having interests and background in other music helps with inspiration as well.
Thats a big reason i like your style your a little like me in the regards that either of us have had any techno exp before our adventure here. and we are both now hopelessly addicted to this but like i said to you earlier. i think you have an advantage because you DONT know what things are supposed to sound like you just know what sounds good:)
