Merki's approach to composition is characterized by a meticulous layering of sounds, where each element is carefully chosen to create a rich tapestry of auditory experiences. He often employs unconventional structures and harmonies, allowing for moments of tension that gradually dissolve into soothing resolutions. This fluidity encourages listeners to surrender to the soundscapes, fostering an environment conducive to reflection and personal interpretation.
