He has earned indisputable respect for his unique, eclectic musical compositions spanning both jazz and classical idioms, in addition to his prominence in the audiophile community for the development of new recording technologies.

"Rhythmically alive,
full of colorful sonorities...
the ears are never allowed a moment's rest, compellingly so."

one's impressed with the constant high level of invention."
