Message Board - Chitchat - What songs/artists do you take inspiration from?

as far as artists who have inspired me go, pretty much all of them come from outside audiotool. some of the more influential ones to me include The Books, Sufjan Stevens, Father2006, Bon Iver, Hella, and Sigur Ros to name a few, all of which are worth checking out their entire discographies respectively.

as for songs, i'll leave some links:

i don't really have any strong stylistic inspirations at the moment, but i can definitely think of some artists and a personal favorite track from them that inspire me to make music and be creative in general

I almost gave up on the main genre that i produce but my interest was re-ignited by ØRGIE and KRTM and overall French/Belgian industrial scene.. So much unique talent and creativeness that my scene could learn from..
