Philosophy (aspiring) academic and autodidact, he uses sound/music to register what is new and different in a sensation, as somewhat of a response to Heidegger and Nietzsche’s insights that one tends to interpret an experience, based on repetition of the familiar past, before the experience even registers. His approach takes different instruments as well as random objects and then works to bringing out complex sounds through simple systems. Another approach is to think of an unknown koan and put it to an unheard calypso song with an unseen instrument in the company of unexpecting friends and strangers. He has shared the stage with Nautical Almanac, Hive Mind, Dave Bernabo, Fuck Telecorps, Rick Gribenas, and others. He will play the 2008 Frantasia Festival of Out Music and Art in Livermore Falls , Maine .
