Due to that his own sound, as an improvising musician, has grown into something very unique.
While one could hear some connection to estonian folk tradition, there's also the use of different elements of world music and colorful harmonies reminiscent of jazz or even impressionism.  The songs are composed so that the music and the poetry are equally important, not one being an accompaniment to the other, but rather forming a new world of sound and meaning. There has been several radio broadcasts, including one through European Broadcast Union. Trio has given concerts also in Canada, Switzerland, Denmark and USA.
