Carlos Cipa – Influences

Carlos Cipa has a wonderfully varied taste in music and the arts, his latest album 'All Your Life You Walk' has been inspired by classical composers and contemporary rock bands alike. To celebrate the album's release, Carlos talks us through some of his greatest influences.
'All Your Life You Walk' is out now via Denovali Records.
One of my favourite writers of all time. I love his rough language and his ability to describe people at their worst. His work always reflects a certain sadness, but at the same time (self-)irony and even happiness. A lot of my song titles are inspired by his work, especially by his poems. I am not reading much at the moment, but I can always get to some Bukowski poems to get some inspirations. His language is always very free, but he has this special feel for structure and form, that I can also relate to within my music. He probably wouldn’t have liked what I am doing, but that makes it even more interesting to get inspiration from his words.
