Description of Style
[...] In his music Zehm uses a variety of techniques. In particular, the minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, which he by no means copied, but enriched with his own touch. A lot is created by improvisation, his involvement in rock and pop groups has also undoubtedly left its mark.
Christian Heindl, in: Wiener Zeitung, 01.07.1994
