<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;">Who are your biggest musical influences?</span>

I love Meshuggah and Sikth but at the moment I have been listening to a lot of Telefon Tel Aviv, Jaga Jazzist, Hiromi, Accelerated Evolution era Devin Townsend, Allan Holdsworth and On The Virg.

<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;"> For those who haven't yet heard your song, describe "Breeze" in seven words or less:</span>

Simple and catchy melodic rock by Bulb.

<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;">What was the writing process like for "Breeze"?</span>

I had just been jamming on the first main riff for a bit, and that led to the second riff, but I sat on those for a while before tracking; when I tracked those the rest sorta just fell into place and before I knew it the song was done! I wish writing every song would be as straightforward and unstressful as that!

I actually think this might end up as a Periphery track as a weird experiment, but we will see!!

<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;">Did the song turn out as you'd envisioned it?</span>

Yeah, surprisingly it pretty much did, because that very rarely happens, for better or for worse!

<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;">What gear was used for the recording of "Breeze"?</span>

For guitars I used my Blackmachine B6 and Axefx Ultra
For bass I used my Schecter Stiletto and Podx3
All recorded direct to a Presonus Firepod in Nuendo.
Drums are Superior 2.0

<span style="colorrange;font-weight:bold;">Where should people go if they want to contact you or hear more of your music?</span>

Good song and interview, but I thought you mixed it up with FFaF at the end Then I looked again and realised I was wrong and you were right, and that you have awesome hair that looks like it came from a shampoo commercial. DDDorian, you're the best.
