 I like that way [Alex] use minimalist techniques, without being a "minimalist."... the long pattern based sections that slowly shift. [His] sense of harmonic stasis and variety is nicely fine-tuned. Just when I want harmonic change, [he]  give(s) it! there is also...great orchestration...and shaping of sound! [Alex's] sonic Imagination is vivid and really invites me in to an unfolding landscape. [His] breadth of harmonic language is nice and expansive. From single tones, to triads (diatonic) and more extended sound masses.
