Influences 1

When I do my art, whether it be on my own or for this class, there's a few songs that I will play on repeat, all of them completely different. Subconsciously I incorporate them into my work. Some of them are abstract (like Hey You) which relates to my theme of dreams. Here's the ones I can think of off the top of my head. There's more but I usually am on shuffle when I hear them and then will play them over and over.

Hey You - Pink Floyd (Pretty much the whole of The Wall album, but this is the most played)
Sail - Awolnation
Let Go - Frou Frou (an Imogen Heap band)
A Better Place, a Better Time - Streetlight Manifesto
Gouge Away - The Pixies (And the whole of the Doolittle album)
Kids - Sleigh Bells (And the whole Treats album)

All of these song are very easy for me to listen to while doing art and are each inspiring in their own way. Absolutely none of these bands are similar to each other in any way, which is interesting. The constrast from Streetlight Manifesto (Ska, which is punk with horns pretty much), to Sleigh Bells (heavy electronica), to Pink Floyd is very large.
