Aesthetic References

Textural References:

There are quite a few easy choices for you, because the category of textural music is so large. I think most of your influences seem to be from the shoegaze/dream pop realm, so an artist outside of that world who I think may help, especially where the use of looping is concerned is Philip Glass. Most of his works involve looping in some form or another, and there is an art to preserving the sounds of the piece while maintaining audience interest.

Jam References:

I really enjoyed your chemistry, and definitely look forward to seeing the development of your group! One group that you remind me of, as far as unusual instrumentation and jazzy jam music goes, is the band Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. They're a bit more structured than I think you intend to be, but I do think the interplay between the instrumentalists, who are all world class in their own right, is worth watching.
