I have dedicated myself to creating experimental electronic music for many years, establishing a reputation within the genre. My work has allowed me to travel extensively around the world, sharing my music with diverse audiences. I have released hundreds of albums across formats including CD, vinyl, and digital, through numerous prestigious labels. My unique sound has often drawn comparisons to artists like Aphex Twin and Autechre, reflecting my boundary-pushing approach. Beyond my solo work, I design sounds for products and adverts, create audio branding, and mix jingles for radio. I also collaborate with bands, contributing mixing and production expertise, and I teach composition and audio recording techniques using Pro Tools to empower the next generation of musicians and engineers.
