An obscure outsider recordist since 1985, I produce recordings that are likely not to appeal to purists of any specific musical genre or school of thought. Though certainly influenced and informed by some currents more than others, I operate outside the main flow of academic, commercial, 'underground' or jazz streams, while stealing water from all of the above to irrigate my hybrid crops.
Since 2004 most of my productions have involved combining/manipulating/arranging/remixing existing recordings from my own archives and/or contributed by other unconventional artists. I also still create new recordings, focusing on my ongoing relationship with an idiosyncratic instrument from my early days as a musical explorer: a vintage Casio CZ-101 digital synthesizer (circa 1985). My current work is produced using only basic multi-track software (early version of Tracktion) and a minimal set of processing tools (no software synths used, as of this writing).
In addition to solo material, my current projects include dadala (remix and collage works) and PcOnTrApTiOn (eclectic electronic and electro-acoustic collaboration with Johann Meier of Jopy).
