Influences obvious statement: 
everything effects what is generated by an artist whether it be good or bad. So I will try and highlight some of the people who influence me positively instead of those I wish to never sound like (appearing in alphabetical order).

Aarktica/Album Leaf, The/Antartica/Aphex Twin/Araki/Autechre/Bjork/Boards of Canada/Broken Spindles/Burning Paris, The/Daedelus/David Bowie/Depeche Mode/DJ Krush/Dj Shadow/DNTEL/Dose One (and his many facets)/Duran Duran/Early Morning, Paris/Elektronaut/Explosions in the Sky/Fennesz/Four Tet/Godspeed You Black Emperor!(and there countless sub-bands/Her Space Holiday/John Digweed/M83/Max Richter/My Lonely Ghost/Notwist, The/One Am Radio, The/Patrick Wolf/Philip Glass/Piano Magic/Pink Floyd/Radiohead/Sasha/Squarepusher/Telefon Tel Aviv/Tristeza/Wind-Up Bird, The/Xiu Xiu

There are many others but I feel this is adequate for now.
