installations. Mostly as a multi-instrumentalist of free-

projects and in collaboration with other
experimentalists and improvisers (London Improvisers
Orchestra, Evan Parker's "Call them Improvisors"
orchestra, Adam Bohman, Valerio Tricoli, Kuupuu &
Lau Nau, Terry Day, Adachi Tomomi) around venues
and festivals for innovative music. Since 2008 he runs
"kukuruku recordings", an independent label for
ephemeral exploratory sound works.
