I have been a huge and very vocal fan of David Walters' music project The Echelon Effect since I came across it on bandcamp. His ambient post-rock soundscapes are truly first-class... and his recent album Mosaic hasn't left my iPhone since it was released in August of 2010.
David is currently looking to raise funds for a year long project entitled "Seasons"... it is intended to document 2011... comprising 4 Eps and a film. To fund it he has released a single entitled Your First Light My Eventide... which is another wondrous slice of instrumental rock loveliness. Please, please consider buying it and help make "Seasons" come to to life.
I recently caught up with David and asked him my seven questions...
----------
1) Who are you and what do you do?
David Walters, i write and produce music for The Echelon Effect
2) What are you working on at the moment?
I've got so much to do! haha im working on a single for Bad Panda records, a net label that gives away a free single every monday, its taking its time to come together!
3) Who inspires you?
- Name an artist who has inspired you.
J K Sampson from the band The Weakerthans, he is a true poet
- Name place that has inspired you.
San Francisco airport, i love people watching, people saying goodbye or being reunited it really is a beautiful place.
- Name some "thing" that has inspired you.
My Mac Book Pro, i love more than i could explain, it allows me to express myself, i take it everywhere.
4) What drives you to do what you do?
Well i said in my biography it was because i was trying to fall in love with music again, that was a couple of years ago, now im just simply addicted to making new sounds.
