Shot about my music inspiration: My inspiration from other electronic musicians are special William Ôrbit I first listen to in 1992 Strange Cargo I - IV Eduard Artemiev I also found very interesting and have listen to. David Sylvian, Marc Ribot and many other. Also I get lot of inspiration from movies and art. But the must of my input are coming from the nature life and my inner spirit soul. Good listening to my music and looking to all my other art. Gratefully Lars Mikkes [b][/b][i]
