Page "Photek" Paragraph 1

His early tracks are somewhat ambient, but already feature the rhythm pattern of his seminal 1997 work Modus Operandi, which embodies most of his mid-nineties style: atmospheric, but at the same time very cold and paranoid, consisting mostly of jazz-influenced, highly complex drum patterns and sequenced double bass lines, sometimes with minimalistic synth melodies on top.

Photek is also influenced by traditional Japanese music and culture, with song titles as " Ni-Ten-Ichi-Ryu ( 2 Swords Technique )" ( named after the Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu technique ) and " The Seven Samurai " ( named after the movie of the same name ).
