In his works he plays guitar, software design, field recordings, cassettes, turntables and other electronic devices. His sound approach it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s related with concr\u00c3\u00a8te musique, minimalism and noise. He creates spectral soundscapes and the improvisation is a method of work to explore new sounds.<\/p>\n

The six tracks on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHappines Will Befall\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 have from very noisy textures to minimalist spaces. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcAdrift\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 hold heavy keyboard notes that create certain tension. The environmental guitar of English hook trembling guitar on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcTwo Weeks I’ll never have again\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, as well as heavy noise. This bordering dirty sound is the texture of ‘Within of glass’, alongwith drones as a background, in addition to guitar experimentation. In a clean atmosphere, only with keyboard notes and imperceptible sounds are on ‘I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been happy like this’. Treated voices, sounds from the sea to the distant spot, the noise of a train wagon passing, micro digital percussions, are the soundscapes on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcParallel [midgap]\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The last track \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRelocated [UTC]\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 it’s my favourite one, so delicate, with only few keyboard notes.<\/p>\n
