Roman describes himself best. "...one of my greatest influences was and is the Moscow underground (the subway or tube or whatever you call it). It has a very special sound and it gives me most of my ideas." "Regarding my music, I like to hear both sides of sound; distorted, awkward, ugly, and black, contrasting with clean, pleasant, beautiful, and white. Sometimes I mix these elements in equal proportions; other times, one side has the 'advantage'. I am also a fan of Soviet industry, which built the ugliest things human kind ever built. So I compose very heavy stuff sometimes. This is a stress output."
