His musical approach can be described as fundamental research. His works span a wide range of contradictory outcome, from solos to compositions for ensembles, from sound installations to videos. Using electronics as well as acoustical instruments. Consequently denying the borderline between music and sound-art.

Visual artists as for instance Alexander Schellow, Heike Kaltenbrunner, Erik Hable or André Goncalves.
As an improvisor he performs among others with: Klaus Filip, Taku Unami, O.Blaat, Axel Doerner, Christian Weber, Erikm, Dieb13, Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Burkhard Stangl, Yan Jun, Taku Han-Noda, Carl Stone, Mattin, etc…
He is programmer for the "ppooll" project: an open source / copyleft / freeware, designed for live – improvisation, composition, interactive installations, etc...
