Kamiyama cites Mauricio Kagel, Luciano Berio, Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen as his influences – artists with a "bizarre sense and distorted feel and touch". cite web |url=http://www.underwateramsterdam.com/sharkbitesaug2003.html |title=Shark Bites! interview |accessdate=2007-07-17 |format= |work= ]
