We have very similar tastes! Jon Hopkins, Emancipator and Chopin. They are all definitely big inspirations for myself too!
I haven’t heard much American folk music honestly but I will be sure to check those guys out! I have recently been doing a deep dive on Sonya Belousova who scored for The Witcher Netflix Series, so I’m sure I will love the folks (pardon the pun) that you have mentioned.
