"If there is anything interesting in composing, with or without computers, is the opportunity to deal with abstract concepts while manipulating concrete material. In particular, computer-based compositional systems provide extended control over sound properties and aspects of structure presenting the opportunity to merge those two into new (musical) forms."

Through a series of collaborations he has created sound, visuals and software for contemporary dance and interactive audiovisual installations, co-creating artworks such as Tune In, Mutual Wave Machine, PLPLPL.PL, ANIMA, POLARIS and In Circles.
