Deep ambient and drone sounds are the result of tape manipulation, sampler abuse, and a handful of live instruments going through effect signal chains.
Performer, multi-instrumentalist, fusion experimentalist.

Active since 2000, w. releases in the realms of noise and dark ambient, IDM, glitch and industrial electronica, jazz, extreme metal and alternative electro-acoustic lo-fi.
