He is very well regarded. Listening to his enigmatic music, the first thing the listener becomes aware of is the complete cultural isolation the Eastern European artists used to be educated in. Their music has nothing similar at all to what has been going on in the Western countries. It looks as if a different evolution had taken place starting from the orchestral music of the 1930s. Nevertheless, he uses the same Japanese synthesizers available to any Western musician. Guitarist Oleg Ivanin sometimes colaborates with him.
