Since 1999, he has collaborated, recorded, and toured worldwide with a diverse spectrum of artists and musicians, including the Sun Ra Arkestra,Yoko Ono, and the Boredoms. His latest music projects include Modular On The Spot, a worldwide synth collective performing improvised musical sets on modular synthesizers in various outdoor locations.
