He has established himself as a prominent figure in the North American tape-label underground, known for his varied and innovative releases on labels such as Jeunesse Cosmique, Orange Milk, Crash Symbols, and Astral Spirits. His music often features a mix of experimental techniques, including screwball collages and synthesizer-based sonorities, which add to his stylistic volatility.
