Snowkitten

Snowkitten is a solo project, and I have been making synthesizer music since 2005. Most of my songs have been instrumental - mainly due to the lack of a microphone and the fact that if I tried singing, the website would be closed down within hours for the sake of world peace. I've tried my hand at a few remixes using vocals - James D. Stark, Shannon Hurley, Snowflake - mostly though, the music is instrumental. Sometimes commercial, sometimes experimental in places. The biggest influence and inspiration behind why I write songs was Talk Talk - both their early synthesizer work and their later, more experimental albums. There have been many other bands who I could claim as influences, but it was Talk Talk who really got the ball rolling. So you can blame them. I have also been a long-time fan of the synthesizer sounds of the 70s and 80s in particular, and those have also been a big influence. I have no intention of making a fortune from the music, nor am I interested in chasing a record deal. The project is something I enjoy doing a great deal, after having spent so many years hoping for a chance to make a few songs and hopefully find an audience, no matter how small.
