Apart from being mainly instrumental, Snöleoparden´s selftitlted album comprises such different elements as Steve Reich-like minimalism (’Xylofon’ & ’Lillecykel ’), Pakistani folk songs (’Dreng’), childrens pop songs (’Hodja Fra Pjort’ & ’Grieg’), ritual/ceremonial music (’Trance’ & ’Snabel E’), electronica (’Den Evige’) & psychedelic rock (’Water Puppet Theatre’).
Elements of world music also has a strong influence on Snöleoparden´s music, but to simply label it world music, wouldn´t do it justice either.
What unites the tracks is the fact that they´re created in a state of childish ingenuousness, musical curiosity, and with eminent instrumental skills rarely heard like this.
During recordings as well as live sets Snöleoparden uses mostly homemade instruments, reel-to-reel tape recorders and guitar pedals to create his music.
The hypnotic rhythms are all hand-played and only in one case (’Trance’) based on a loop, done the old fashioned way of course, using a reel to reel tape.

Most tracks have small stories to accompany them. Like the track ’Dreng’ which were done with a 6-year old busking boy from the town of Sadikeabad in Pakistan on vocals. Or the charming rendition of Danish composer Sebastian’s ’Hodja Fra Pjort’, where the voices were recorded in a kindergarden and the instruments in the music room of a public school, using only the available instruments.
