The Microgram started seriously experimenting with music when he was given an old MIDI keyboard. With no formal music training he taught himself various musical techniques and theories. He sees no end in sight to the musical journey he started, as he delves deeper and deeper into the world of ambient music he is constantly learning new things and finding great new artists. The Microgram has been influenced by just about every record that he has ever heard from a wide range of genres, but his main influences are people like Boards of Canada, The Orb, and Brian Eno.
