  ## Musical style
  
  Eightcubed's musical style has been described as "fantastical, mesmerizing, strangely addictive, innovative, retro-futuristic and whimsical". In early 2007, Cue Mix Magazine proclaimed that his sound was "fascinating and groundbreaking". Eightcubed has stated that he leaves his musical writing to be defined by critics and that his most ardent instrument is the computer.
