​Gerry Joe Weise's main inspiration is Béla Bartók, who he considers his favorite composer and musician of all time. As a teenager Weise had a large collection of Karlheinz Stockhausen records, which paved his introduction into Contemporary music. Nevertheless Weise relies on his own personal originality for his compositions on rhythm, harmony, and dissonance, which he has been studying and composing since the 1970s.
