He performs solo on modular synthesizer and occasionally convening the Organ Octet – a massed organ ensemble of eight reed/chord organs. He also plays synth in a trio with Tujiko Noriko and Lawrence English and in his Holy Family duo with Lawrence English. His solo LP ‘The Luminous Ground’ released by ROOM40 came in at #37 in The WIRE magazine’s Top 50 records of 2011 chart. This was followed by a private press 12″ entitled ‘Automatic Music’ that offered his own take on generative minimalism and surface stasis.
