As the taste varies widely, so his musical style
varies wildly! "The reason why I compose music is that I can not find any
published music satisfying 100% of my expectations... Even in listening to
my favorite songs I usually listen to some special parts of them." Salim
quotes. "Almost all of my songs
have a story behind them. Usually a special situation dominates and it
implies as a melody line or rhythmic phrase... I immediately record that
part and listen to it over and over. I always refer to my intuition and seek
the rest of the unfinished song within my inner ear. Trust your intuition - however
eccentric it may represent - and it works the magic out!"
