Really interested regarding comparisons vs. influences - thank you for sharing!
As a child I listened to Queen, Mike Oldfield and the 80s chart music of the time. I did listen to a bit of Jean Michelle Jarre and Tangerine Dream which is perhaps the closest in terms of influence - but really I don't think my music is very obviously influenced by anything - especially my improvised music! It probably is at a more subtle level - but in my mind I just make whatever feels right to me and don't worry about what genre it is. There are a couple of exceptions to that - I've made one Lofi/Chill track for a specific project and I'm doing another one now for a follow up for example.
But the music that I think is the most "TDC Tunes" is hard to put in a box!
