| Hey i was just wondering when you guys were young aspiring musicians before ac, what were you into, what kind of music were you making, and what did you listen to for inspiration. Thanks i was just wondering about this because i myself enjoy making music and i wanted to know what it was like for you guys in your "early years" |

brian and i started making music together when we were 15 because of our shared love of the band pavement and horror films. We started doing covers at a highschool "cabaret" that included pavement songs, cure songs, poison by belle biv devoe, seasons in the sun by terry jacks...or maybe we never actually performed that one but we did practice it, and just what i needed by the cars. From there we started taking acid and putting improvised sections into our first band called automine which deakceon also played in. a guy in this old baltimore band called space 11 saw us play at our highschool and told us we reminded him of early grateful dead and syd barret era pink floyd so we decided dig back into our old record collections and get back into that kind of stuff which we had given up for a bit. We read a review of a climax golden twins record somtime around 11th or 12th grade bought the record and from there we were completely into sound music and whateer weird psych music we could find. A friend of ours got a silver apples album on tape also around the same time and this led to us discovering can and krautrock stuff etc. I guess in highschool we made so much stuff that its all varied sounding. I made three or four 90 minute tapes full of solo songs which were all different sounding. Noah had just about as many plus he and josh did quite alot of stuff together too. Our band was more rock with organs and delayed guitars, and brian and i also had a duo called wendy darling (shining reference) which was probably closer to what ac stuff started sounding like. We used a drum machine though. We were also very inspired by the soundtrack to the shining which has the brilliant "music for strings percussion and celeste" on it by bela bartok and well as pieces by ligtei and pendereki and the texas chainsaw massacre movie and soundtrack inspired us alot too. This was all in highschool though these things remain an inspiration.

I think the important question is being overlooked.
Did you also do the dance? |
