His antecedents can be found in Russian Scriabin, the French mystic/modernist Messiaen, the Franco-American Var?se and, more recently, in the work of the Pole Penderecki and Estonian Arvo Paert. The influence of composers like Webern and Morton Feldman can perhaps also be felt in the lack of any kind of conventional process or development. This is music of stasis, a kind of intense minimalism that tells no conventional stories but rather meditates on an idea.
