His live soundscapes blur the boundaries between noise and music, stillness and hysteria, darkness and light.
He create compositions on the verge of dissolving and focuses on mood and texture rather than tonality and rhythm.
Live he use contact microphones, gadgets, loops and effects to form abstract sound environments created in the moment.
His live performances are often based on old radios, voice, newly found objects and junk used as instruments.
