His works have been described as "structured ambient," "tectonic color plates," and "cathedral electronic music," and for the most part have focused on exploring the intersections of noise, dissonance, and melody, fostering an approach to song craft which is both physical and emotive. The New York Times has described his work as "foreboding, abstract pieces in which static and sub-bass rumbles open up around slow moving notes and chords, like fissures in the earth waiting to swallow them whole." His Radio Amor was considered to be a key recording in 2003 by The Wire.
