Iouri Tsarew's muscial style can only be categorized as "eclectic order". Eclectic in the sense, that his musical compositions range from ambient, dub, new age to jazz, art rock and miniature operas. Order in the sense that he and the musicians he works with are highly trained and experienced professionals. His ambient compositons are reminiscent of Eno and Vangelis, his jazz is a cross between Sinatra, Hancock, Steely Dan and Zappa, his art rock is reminisent of early talking heads, Tom Waits and Peter Gabriel, and his operatic are from radiohead to pere ubu. These influences are especially meaningful when considering that he has lived in Moscow, Russia for most of his life, and was able to hear many of these musicians contemporaneously with his colleagues in the west. His performances are usually soundtracks for documentary films that he has made of European cities, former-Soviet Union and the U.S.Besides a composer and musician Iouri Tsarew is a highly trained graphic artist, computer artist, documentary film producer and music producer.Tsarew began working with his father Yuri Valentinovich Tsarew as a graphic artist in several publishing houses of cinema and theatrical advertising in the 1970's and 80's Through his work with his father Tsarew learned the techniques of a master artist and Tsarew later finished his graphic arts education at the Strogonovsky Art Institute.Tsarew continued his work in the arts, this time at Mosfilm film studios as the assistant Art director on the film "Peter the Great's Arab".
