1) THE SURREALISTS
2) Steampunk/Dieselpunk, and the Monster/Human Existance.
H.P. Lovecraft and Verne/Verne-esque works have been a fascination of mine for quite some time. Using the classic 'Adventure Story' ideals against the strange or abnormal, while using antiquated yet advanced methods and tools always struck a chord. The use of the 'monster' or 'grotesque' (a sympathetic, yet monstrous character: Frankenstein's Monster) as a parallel for the average human mind, it's heights and it's lows, why we do what we do, has shown up in many of my works. Another usage, most modern, is that in "American Psycho", detailing the depraved depths of the natural human mind. Essentially, I find the complexity of our minds, and our social groupings, to be most exciting.
3) Akira Yamaoka and the Silent Hill game series.
Akira Yamaoka composes some of the darkest, beautiful rock/post-rock pieces around. My musical style has been heavily influenced by him. He writes music for the Silent Hill series, which is a surrealist horror game. The player is not just taken through a game, but through a story, and at many times a visual work of art. The symbolism, darkness, and it's references to human psyche have always interested in me and it's borrowed uses of surrealist art have always been a good reference tool.
