32	!!Tropes relating to Artemyev's music:
33
34	* AssociatedComposer: For Creator/AndreiKonchalovsky, Creator/NikitaMikhalkov, and Creator/AndreiTarkovsky. Especially for Mikhalkov.
35	* {{Ambient}}: All three of Artemyev's soundtrack commissions for Creator/AndreiTarkovsky qualify as such. The music for ''Film/{{Solaris\|1972}}'' in particular consists largely of minimalist drones rendered on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANS_synthesizer ANS synthesizer]], an early photoelectric analog synthesizer, while the music from ''Film/{{Stalker\|1979}}'' features a blend of natural sounds, railroad noises, processed traditional instruments, and synth drones which all interact to the point where they become indistinguishable from each other.
36	* CultSoundtrack: Artemyev was one of those composers whose entire filmography had a cult following, but his soundtrack commissions for Creator/AndreiTarkovsky especially qualified.
37	* ElectronicMusic: Artemyev first became interested in the genre in the early 1960s, and soon went on to become one of Russia's greatest masters thereof.
38	* EtherealChoir: Artemyev's score for Creator/AndreiTarkovsky's ''Film/{{The Mirror\|1975}}'' has a lot of this going on, contributing greatly to the film's abstract, stream of consciousness-like tone.
39	* RearrangeTheSong: Rearranged [[Music/JohannSebastianBach Bach]]'s "Ich ruf zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ" into the theme from ''Film/{{Solaris\|1972}}''. Later on his own theme for ''Film/{{Siberiade}}'' was rearranged by PPK into the trance hit "Resurrection".
40	* RecycledSoundtrack: "Fire" from Artemyev's 1984 album ''Moods'' was later re-used as the Nazgul theme in the 1991 Soviet ''[[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' adaptation ''Series/TheKeepers''. Because of this, it is sometimes referred to by fans as the "Ringwraith Rave".
