He’s currently producing computer-generated material spanning a wide sonic palette, from anarchic electronics to surgical otoacoustic synthscapes – focusing on physiological sound experiments and perception thresholds. His debut album, Subjective Slave (CD), has been released in fall 2013. He recently completed the design of a music interface prototype with vibrotactile feedback, aiming to develop a genuinely physical approach of electronic music, to be used in live performances soon.
