This music project provides examples of:
- Album Intro Track: On all the full-length albums.
- all lowercase letters: His first two albums and first two EPs use them for their titles and track names.
- Boléro Effect: Used often on acid and halfconsciousness.
- Concept Album: Or rather, Concept EP; Sleep Sequence A™ is a loose concept album about falling asleep to the sound of the television.
- Cover Version: Covered "Sweet Dreams (are Made of This)" by Eurythmics on the hidden track of halfconsciousness.
- Epic Rocking: Prevalent on the first EP, not so much on later recordings.
- Also, "Please Help Me" from Melancholy is 26 minutes long and consists nigh-entirely of one repeated melody.
- Fake Radio Show Album: The end of every track on Sleep Sequence A™ and Sleep Sequence B™ has a short interlude in which bits of commercials are heard.
- Hidden Track: On halfconsciousness, an instrumental Cover Version of Sweet Dreams (are Made of This)
- Also, "Omnicidalism" from Melancholy
- I Am the Band: Consists of one person, Draven Stedman.
- Miniscule Rocking: The first and last tracks on most albums, with the latter being an example of Last Note Nightmare.
- New Sound Album: Sleep Sequence B™ marks a shift away from the sample-based Vaporwave plunderphonic nature of the first releases towards a more sinister dark-ambient inspired sound.
- Sampling: Incredibly prevalent on earlier releases, less so on others. Came back for a lot of the newer stuff.
- Textless Album Cover: halfconsciousness and all releases after it.
