I think the name is weird.
Also, music is the language of emotion. Intentionally trying to not communicate a feeling in one's composition is like trying to throw words at people without conveying a message.
This does not sound like my kind of person. From your description, he sounds really lame, and like handfuls of composers I have come across, one who tries to mask a lack of ability to communicate emotion with supposedly "deep" conceptual hooey-ha. The emperor is naked.
