His music is characterized by fluid architectural design, focused motivic textures, stylistically eclectic compositional techniques, a highly expressive melodic, rhythmic and dynamic language, as well as imaginative developmental strategies. His advanced orchestration skills and diverse musical structuring coupled with his inventive fusion of various, often unexpected elements and techniques, allow him to create memorable underscores that are often praised at film festivals.
