He’s been around since the early 90s when he came on the improvised music scene armed with electronics, such as CDs, miniDisc and other electronics. He played with Luc Ferrari, Christian Marclay, Thurston Moore and …

Be to, jau anksčiau į field recoring ir elektroakustinius eksperimentus orientuotos kompanijos akiratyje buvo atsidūrę ir kiti lietuviai – Arturas Bumšteinas ir Darius Čiuta.
