Musical career
Musical career
At age 15, von Ziegler began his musical experience as a drummer in a local rock band. However, wanting more melodic expression, he quit the band and started to compose music independently, using only a headset microphone and guitar. From 2007 to 2009, he recorded countless demo songs under the artist name "Indigo", in which his guitar would get replaced increasingly often by keyboard and orchestral arrangements of which he grew to favor. In 2008, he began releasing music on the social networking site Myspace. After dropping the Indigo pseudonym in 2009, he began releasing music under his own name, starting with the albums Requiem and Lifeclock in 2010.
Style and inspiration
Style and inspiration
Much of von Ziegler's music is characterized by traditional and orchestral instrumentation, digitally composed and synthesized. He states that his inspiration originates from a variety of sources, including Celtic and Norse mythology, movie and video game soundtracks and fantasy literature. He attributes his orchestral style to the influence of composers such as Hans Zimmer, Koji Kondo and Jeremy Soule. He also notes that his emotions, natural surroundings, imaginary worlds and wife all give him inspiration for his musical works.
