The musicians from Mannheim, Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin got to know each other during their studies at the Mannheim Pop Academy. "Soul splinters were our bachelor's project at the time," says drummer and principal composer Fenix Gayed. "But then we realised relatively quickly that we would like to continue with the band after our studies," adds guitarist Simon Kramer in the joint interview. "We all come from different musical backgrounds, and with the founding of the project there was a fusion of these influences. Currently Steven Wilson has inspired us with 'The Raven That Refused To Sing' and Haken's 'The Mountain'. Other notable influences include Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Dream Theater and Snarky Puppy. Earthside with their debut 'A Dream in Static' were also very important, as they encouraged us to work with different guest singers for each song.

The Danish violinist Harald Haugaard is one of the best fiddlers in the world. In contrast to David Garrett, who rots up virtuoso classical music, he drives a more authentic style, which moves between folk and (not popped up) classical music.
