I have thought of not just about general influences, but singular moments in time where my views on the music I would eventually make changed and approximately when I experienced them. While it would be easy just to write a list of ‘favorite songs’ and call it a day, I found that actually thinking about specific songs that lead to new genre discoveries, or new musical trains of thought was more difficult. Which singular entities encapsulated the influential concepts the best? <\/p>\n

So here is my list of singular moments in time where my views on the music I would eventually make changed.<\/p>\n

\n1987 – Kinuyo Yamashita, Satoe Terashima, Wicked Child [Castlevania OST]<\/a>

\n2007 – Patrick Jumpen, The Secret<\/a><\/p>\n
